Fifth Platter to Make Possible Comeback
As most fanciers of good music know, Mary Hinkle was one of the members of the fabulous 50s group the Platters. She was the fifth Platter for a few minutes back in 1998. Mary noticed that Holabird's newest entertainment sensation "Z-Money's Flying Circus" was going to be in Highmore and half jokingly talked about singing. Her oldest, and possibly meanest son, Jerry Hinkle, is pushing her to get out and do it too. He thinks people would pay to see a show like that. Hopefully, Seth Zilverberg has some Platters songs in his musical library. Even better though, how about The Ditty Bops.
Nemec is Nifty at Fifty
Well, the cat is out of the bag. Mary Jo Nemec is 50 years old. All of us here at the Holabird Advocate were going to be discreet about her age . After all we didn't know how old she was until she told our Publisher her true age. The Highmore Herald was not the least bit discreet. They even sent a paparazzi to snap a very unflattering photo of her. She should sue, really she should. Of course you know the old saying, "You're not getting older, you're getting better". E.E. Hinkle believed that until he reached 99. So Mary Jo has about 49 good years left.
Three Strikes and Going Home
Morgen Hoffman's family will have something to celebrate this Thanksgiving. It is hoped that by then, Morgen will be home. That little girl had three strikes against her. First, there was the hole in her lung. The Doctors claim now that the hole "healed itself". Then there was a heart defect. The defect is "Gone" now. The latest thing was a tumor that was discovered on her neck, which since "disappeared". Prayer works!
