Christine Sings!

Don Gullett, Cincinnati Reds Legend!

Here is Don Gullett of the Cincinnati Reds 1975 pitcher! (He pitched and struck out 20 of 21 hitters one year!) My mother Mrs. Betty Jo Holmes; known as "Mother Holmes" at Greenup County, Kentucky's McKell High School, in South Shore, KY was Don's English teacher.

I've also created a "Mother Holmes" website devoted to my mother and many students have responded with comments on her. (Just click on her name above)

I remember Don stopping by our home in South Shore for many visits with my mom. I believe he even signed some baseballs.

Just some memories and history. - Bill

Happy 4th of July!
