Rick "The Lion" Enis, Curtis's cousin, was a boxer (W 25 (18 ko's) | L 39 | D 2 | Total 68). Dick Livingston (whose late son Rich was a year behind me and a classmate of Kilven's) was his manager for a time (this is really turning into "Small Town News" here. ;-) ) Sadly, running Rick's name through Google has him showing up 5 times this year on (another auto-play audio alert) http://www.unioncityinpolice.com/arrests.html (And does the Union City Police Department have proper authorization to be embedding the theme from "Cops" on that Web page, or are they Breakin' The (Copyright) Law? ;-) But anyway, maybe Annie was Curtis's cousin too, not his sister? "I don't rightly recall now," as Grandma used to say.

I think that Union City is a great town. Being a city boy that moved to the country as a child (Ash Flat, AR), and back again, I can relate to your blog. Although Ash Flat has no real celebrities as Rick, Chris, and Curtis, a small town about 15 miles from Ash Flat has a famous name - Evening Shade. Travel another 20 miles south and you come to Batesville - hometown of Mark Martin. I in particular appreciate the mention of Chris, as he has given so much back to his community, and his charity, the TUberous Sclrosis Alliance. This man constantly "pays it forward", and will be well rewarded for his gifts and talents. If only the world could be filled with as generous and caring people. Great Blog! It is posted in Chris' forum and will be seen by many! Mark Carlson (photographer of the Chris/Teri photo, and webmaster to Chris' myspace and youtube sites) Nice!
