As a Tennessee boy who loves within an hour of Sevierville I can tell you that she is a wonderful person. She is loved in this State. There is so much that she does for her community that no one hears about because she doesn't make a big deal out it. She is one talented, generous and beautiful lady.
“she is a wonderful person...”
I have a cousin who is a member of the Grand Ol Opry, and my grandfather has performed there as well. I have heard a lot of stories, about a lot of performers and their bad behavior. There are a few who stand head and shoulders above the rest, not because of their talent, but because they are truly good human beings. Dolly is always among them. From what I gathered, if we knew just how generous this lady was, we would all be pretty amazed. She has a big heart.-—JM
