"I Have a Story" Celebrating a Birthday at Busch Gardens for 50 Years - Greg McQuade / WTVR (8/2/24)
A Chesterfield County, Virginia man is proving birthday wishes come true over and over again. In my “I Have a Story” I will introduce you to the man who has been carrying on a tradition on his special day for fifty years. As I will show you when his birthday rolls around there is only one place he wants to be. Steve Hall has been celebrating his birthday at Busch Gardens in Williamsburg for the last 50 years. Steve started the tradition in when he worked at the park the first year it opened in 1975 while attending William and Mary. Every July 18th Steve has returned year after year. He rides the coasters and stays at the park from opening till close. This year he turns 70. He says walking around Busch Gardens makes him feel like he is a kid again.

    From the very beginning, it’s clear we are witnessing someone filled with compassion, empathy, and a deep desire for truth. Lynda's words, "It does my heart good to see this is so well cared for," resonate with warmth. Having been friends with Lynda for nearly a decade, I can personally attest to her relentless pursuit of truth. This short segment fills me with pride to call Lynda my friend. I sincerely hope that a new gravestone will be crafted so that Uriah can receive the honor and dignity he deserves from the USA. Thank you, Lynda, for bringing light to those who cannot speak.

    Not yall not mentioning that he was very selfish. Most abolitionists were upset he went to the press with his story because they wanted to use his method to free others. Also he was given the opportunity to buy his wife and children and he refused! Then went to England to marry a white woman. Not a hero..

    I was visiting Claiborne Farm in 1973 shortly after "Big Red's" winning the Triple Crown. Penny Tweedy (at the time, became "Chenery") greeted me personally and asked if I would like to have a ride on Secretariat! No comment needed there, so skip ahead to me raising my left foot in reach of his saddle's stirrup when my dream was suddenly interrupted by, "Becky, get up! The alarm didn't go off!" True story. And I've yet to forgive the man who was my husband at the time.

    As an Englishman with a love of horses , and no disrespect to the legendary "Secretariat"... No where near the class of the best horse ever , During his distinguished career, Red Rum established himself as the greatest horse to compete in the Grand National. No competitor in the history of the most prestigious meeting in the sport triumphed more than the bay gelding. His total of three victories at the event are yet to be beaten in the 40 years since his retirement. Elite horses have attempted to match his accomplishment, but not a single one has managed to win twice. Red Rum stands alone in the history of the Grand National, arguably the toughest of all tests for a racehorse.

    Jackson Ward has always been a very special part of Richmond. Hard to explain to outsiders. As a small boy I grew up in "The Ward", "roaming the streets" as we young boys use to do in the 1950s..... Our schools were Baker Elementary, Benjamin Graves Junior High and Maggie L Walker. Some of our braver teachers talked about Mr. Mitchell: said he was a teacher and a brave militant man. They talked about his newspaper . We also heard of Marcus Gravey, W. E. B. Dubois and the great Paul Robeson. In those days the teachers use to put pictures of famous people above the blackboard-people we were expected to know. I even vaguely recall Mrs. Ida B. Well's picture. We also learned about Maggie Lena Walker at a very early age. So segregated schools were not all bad. All of our teachers were of African descent except for one German Jewish man who taught German. John Mitchell was a strong brother. No doubt about that!!
