Lovable Bill |
 Irene Kemper's been a fan of Bill Anderson for nearly 50 years,
but it wasn't until her 80th birthday that she met the legend.
"I watch him every Saturday on 'Opry Backstage,' but finally
seeing him in person, and in my hometown, was wonderful," says
Irene, who attended his Lawrenceville, Ga., concert with her
daughter, Patricia Szymanski. "He's such a lovable person. When
he talks to you, he really makes you feel at home." |
