Re: For those who remember Dalton Smith....
Dalton was a great musician. In my memory the only other FHS grad that rivaled his ability and talent was pianist John Atkins, son of L. O. Atkins, who I believe studied at Julliard (sp.?) and gave at least one concert at Carnegie Hall. I lived across the street from Dalton when he first started with the trumpet and remember what a talent he was at an early age. His specialty was a then popular song Peg' of My Heart. I followed his career for many years.
