Dear Editor,
Did you know that Hinton was the birthplace of perhaps America’s most distinguished dobro player of all time?
We can proudly say that George “Speedy” Krise is our native son.
Perhaps we should consider a historical marker in Speedy’s honor.
Better yet, let’s sponsor an outdoor Speedy Krise dobro festival.
