Re: For those who remember Dalton Smith....
George, I remember John telling me how he would go outside at your house and sit and listen as Dalton played his trumpet when he and Vi would be visiting the Tarrers' just a couple of houses down from you all on Highway 35. And I agree with you, Mr. Polk that John could have been successful in the professional music world if he had chosen to do so. He had a long range vision even back in high school of what he wanted to accomplish and was willing to lay the groundwork by practicing and exercising the discipline that goes with achieving those goals.
