It turns out that Greg Talley, or as we refer to him here as Mr.T, knows just a bit about Movies. While I am a proud card carrying member of the Regal Theater club that allows me to see more movies than most people would care to see, the Talley family has been involved in local Show Business for generations.
After our paths crossed on Sunday at the Theater in Galax, Mr. T took the time to share his thoughts about the Family 👪 Business.
“My family ran the projectors at every theater around . The Rex , the Star drive-in. The Colonial , Nester’s in fries , the Midway and the one in Independence. My uncle showed the first Talkie in Galax .”
Fries theater. The Rex, The star and ad for grand Opening of Rex which my Uncle Nesbert Ran the projectors in 1940

Very appreciative of Coach taking the time to share his Love for the Movies and a part of his families history!
Turning Back the Clock ⏰
Among the Family members we see here are Greg’s Father, Mother 👩, Cousin James, Brother Mike, Uncle Nesbert and Aunt Ada. Truly the Family 👪 Business !
Allen Iverson had one of the most memorable moments in Sports history back in the day on the topic of Practice. “We’re talking about Practice” was the main theme that day and it leads into a perfect example of what was on display from 6:30 to 8:00pm last night 🌙.
I actually won’t be able to list the names of the crossover Student Athletes until later today when I’m in the Gymnasium with the Volleyball team but its easy enough to discuss them as a group.
Yesterday would have began in the usual manner for this group. Waking ⏰ up and heading out to school 🏫. That’s a full day for some, attending classes and trying to navigate life as a teenager. After the final bell 🔔 rings our dedicated group heads toward the Gym where Coach Edwards and Coach Petty await them.
The VB teams are set to compete in front of the Home Crowd on Tuesday for the first time when they host a scrimmage that will include Staunton River. They will play in front of the home 🏡 fans a total of nine times between now and the end of the regular season and you only get to make one first impression.
Once the final drill has been completed and the Volleyballs 🏐 have been put away the majority of the players can finally call it a day after roughly 10 hours. Not our group of overachievers – they swap out their VB uniforms for their back packs which contain their cleats and bats so they can make their way across the street for their next round of practice.
Once practice #2 has reached its conclusion you can return home 🏡 to shower, eat a late dinner 🍽 and worry about your homework – not necessarily in that order. The day ends and before one knows it the time has come to get up and do it again.
Spending Monday evening at a Softball practice for a couple of hours is equal parts trying to help Coach Nester and simply admiring the unbelievable 👏 amount of dedication on display from both groups – the Softball players and the Double Dippers.
Yes, Mr. Iverson, we’re talking about Practice! Also known as dedication and commitment at the end of a 12+ hour day.
