miss some of the episodes of the daytime soap opera "Days of Our Lives"
and other favorites.  His help in bringing victory to the Crimson Tide
over Tennessee last Oct 21st had worked against his habits.  Instead of 
couch-potato-ing, he was huddling with reporters.  Gary is also under 
weight.  He is a 6-4 lad and weighs only 195 pounds.  His weight-lifting 
is under par, too; how much he bench presses is not mentioned, even by 
a friend. But his ability to throw either a footba11 or a baseball is
not questioned.  More will be heard of Gary Hollingsworth.
    (6) Again, Correspondent Albert W. Twaddell sent us yet another
cutting from the Daily Local News, this one from Wed. Sept 21, 1988,
p. 2.  Heading: Queen took dad's advice, by Michael P. Rellahan of the 
DLN staff.  It's about Debra Lynn Hollingsworth, West Chester, Pa.  Uni-
versity sophomore who was crowned National Mushroom Queen the weekend 
before. She credited her father, Irvin Hollingsworth, Jr., for urging 
her to compete for the crown. Her father runs the Penn-Del agriculture 
supply company of Toughkenamon.  When Debra Lynn joined the firm, she 
became acquainted with mushrooms and mushroom growers.  This contest is
a small one, consisting of a talent contest, spoken interview and an
evening gown competition.  Through it all she was supported by former 
winner Chelle Armstrong who is also a West Chester U. student. (Oh,
oh!  Let's not suppose any wrong doing here.  After all, this is not the
staid Miss America Pageant!)  For her part, Debra Lynn played both the
flute and piccolo (orchestral siblings) and sang and tap danced.  But 
not all at the same time, of course.  When she won she was too shocked 
to cry, she said, although her whole family was doing just that.
    Hollingsworth is 19 (was last year) and lives in Centreville, Del-
aware, and graduate of Alexis I. DuPont High in Greenville, Delaware. 
She is studying for a degree in music education (naturally) and is in 
hopes of being a teacher of choral music in high schools.  Last year 
her reign ended, but after a full year of representing the American
Mushroom institute at its various promotional functions.  Your editor 
did not see her on TV.  Probably the AMI is a low budget association.
    (7) Daily Variety, Fri, Sept 15, 1989, p 33, found by your editor 
while searching up show-biz obituaries, has an article about Leslie 
Hollingsworth.  She has joined Brad Marks International as a vice presi-
dent and managing director of the Los Angeles office.  Previously, she 
worked as managing associate in the worldwide entertainment division 
of Korn/Ferry International.  There, she met Marks and another man who 
later departed Korn/Ferry to found the present company.  By September, 
the firm had opened offices in New York and London.  Leslie Hollings-
worth spent 6 years in Korn/Ferry, the last 3 of which were in the en-
tertainment part created by Marks in 1986.

Dear Brother. I received your letter on the 17th/ It found us all in 
good health except Mother/ She has been very sick all this week/ Doc-
tor Baber attends on her, he says that it is trouble and fatigue that 
ails her.  Brother T. J. H's death almost killd Father and Mother/ 
Dear Brother the advise you sent Brother T. J. H. in your letter came too
late/ He had been dead 12 days when I rec. your letter/ Expect when 
you wrote to me you did not think to hear in my answer that Brother 
Jefferson was dead/ But it is true/ He was willing to die/ He said 
he was in the hands of him who knew best what to do with him./ He 
said he had rather die than live/ and be afflicated/ as he was/
