2007: What
A Year!
Looking Back (to back to back)
This past year will long be remembered as the one that put Boone on the national map after the Appalachian State Mountaineers pulled what has been hailed as the college football upset of the century — defeating Michigan 34-32 on Sept. 1 in Ann Arbor. The implausible win was a prelude to the Mountaineers’ third consecutive national championship. For a look back on the year that was, please read on. January
• RedTail Mountain, a gated residential community situated 20 miles northwest of Boone, unveils its plans to the public. The community occupies land formerly known as Roan Valley Country Club Estates. The property features an 18-hole golf course and a private lake house and dock on Watauga Lake.
Dec 28th
Well, it's almost time for me to head off to Australia. Tomorrow, actually, but this might be my last chance to get in a blog before then. I will try to blog while there but won't promise. Christmas is over and it was quite a pleasant one. My son visited from Las Vegas and he said he had a good time. It looks like he is set on going back to college full time to qualify as an accountant. He did one class last semester and got an A, so it looks like he should do OK in that field. He has quite a bit of money coming to him for education from the time he spent in the United States Air Force; at least enough for about two years of college. We spent Christmas Eve morning at my wife's parents then headed to Pensacola Beach, Florida to where my wife's sister and family live. Lots of gifts were handed around and we all ate and drank too much.
Britney Spears fails to regain lost visitation rights
BRITNEY Spears will not be able to visit her sons at least until her next custody hearing in February and K-Fed has full custody until April. TMZ.com reports that Commissioner Scott Gordon ruled against restoring the visitation rights she lost after the four hour standoff with emergency services a few weeks ago. The Commissioner heard evidence from several other witnesses, including Spears's ex-husband Kevin Federline, two LAPD cops who responded to a custody standoff a week ago Thursday; a parenting coach; a bodyguard, and the court monitor who was present during the drama. PageSix.com reports that the January 4 emergency order which gave Federline custody of sons Sean and Jayden was extended today until April. Britney arrived more than three hours late amid chaos at the courthouse packed with a media throng.
