UCHS Band students excel!
Submitted by Shirlee Grabko on Mon, 04/22/2024 - 14:57There are many interesting people living in Union County. Some of them are senior citizens with fascinating tales to tell from their lives. I also discovered a couple of impressive people who are seniors at our Union County High School. I’ve known musicians most of my (long) life. Very seldom have I met one who also writes music. Landyn Hobbins has been doing this for years. He is a emotional writer who believes that music is something that everyone can relate to, and that music connects people - especially during emotional highs and lows.

Periwinkle Snails
When I first read "Periwinkles" I remembered my mama used to call them "Pennywinkles". I figured that was how you spelled it. Good to know the history behind the name and that the correct spelling is "Pinnywinkles" and the original Old English is "Pinewincle". Didn't know they were edible but I used to pick them out of the creek (empty ones) and collect them when I was a little girl. Thank you so much for that information on one of our mountain words that we have held onto!
