Sylva (N.C.)

Amy’s story “The Ammons Family Reunion” talks about the importance of family reunions in preserving family history. She also shares some of her own family history and talks about this year’s Ammons family reunion. “Amaranth” accompanies the story. On Creative Corner, Doreyl hosts Brantly Junaluska of Cherokee. She talks about growing up in Cherokee and her ancestry, which includes Daniel Boone and the Cherokee leader Junaluska. Brantly also discusses her grandmother, who has taught her traditional Appalachian culture, and her desire to learn more about her Cherokee heritage. The interview is followed by “Cherokee Morning Song” by Walela. On Stories of Mountain Folk, Amy once again welcomes Rick Brogden of Cowee, who continues to share memories of Rickman General Store, as well as stories of how his grandfather, Tom Rickman, served his community. “Chickens” by C.W. Colt follows the interview. Next is the first installment of a new segment entitled This Is My Home, hosted by Webster native Joe Rhinehart. This week Joe talks with 92-year-old Robert Hall in the first of several interviews celebrating the 125th anniversary of Sylva. Robert talks about his family and his early life in Sylva, with some memories of Sylva Supply, owned by his father and the main department store and wholesaler serving Jackson County. “Old Time Religion” by the Cockman Family follows the interview. On Down Another Road, Judy continues her talk with Renee Nuchols of Robbinsville. This week she talks about the Cherokee aspect of her heritage and its influence on her life, as well as some discussion of social life in Graham County. The interview is followed by “900 Miles” by Red Smiley, and “Roundup in the Sky” by the Butterpats closes the show.
