Obituary: Joseph Walter Fortenberry - Oak Ridge Today

Mary Ellen Clark and her husband Don Clark, along with nieces Julie Holland and Terri Kerley of Knoxville and Steffanie Benson-Elliott of Altamonte Springs, Florida; nieces Stephanie Hall and Lindsay Morton and families; and nephews Ryan and Christopher Kittrell and families, all of Atlanta, Georgia. Joe was preceded in death by his mother Stella, his father Joseph Hubert, and his younger sister Debra Fortenberry. Joe will be missed, but the family is comforted knowing that he is free from the pain and discomfort he had experienced for years. A celebration of Joe’s life will be held in June 2021 in Knoxville, Tennessee, with the dates to be determined. In lieu of flowers, donations in Joe’s name to Sacred Heart Home in Hyattsville, Maryland, are welcomed. Sacred Heart is where Joe called home for the last 12 years. The wonderful staff and the Ministry of Sisters, Servants of Mary Immaculate, made Joe feel safe and secure and introduced him to the beautiful teachings of the Roman Catholic Church. The address for Sacred Heart Home is 5805 Queens Chapel Road, Hyattsville, MD 20782.

It wasn't all love and flowers and Woodstock in 1969 - Sydney Morning Herald

Rolling Stones to put the decade to death. On December 6, the Stones released an album called Let It Bleed. The next day they hosted a concert at the Altamont Speedway in northern California - supposed to be a Woodstock of the West - which ended with an 18-year-old boy stabbed to death by a member of the Hells Angels. Let it bleed, indeed. The founder of the Stones, Brian Jones, had died just six months before, drowned in his own swimming pool.Peace and love were running short all over the place.On August 14, 1969, the British sent troops to Northern Ireland to “restore order” after an outbreak of sectarian violence.source media="(min-width: 1024px)" srcset="https://static.ffx.io/images/$zoom_0.333%2C$multiply_1.06%2C$ratio_1.5%2C$width_756%2C$x_0%2C$y_36/t_crop_custom/w_800/q_86%2Cf_auto/3f07ae00329966891d5103fff280e73ce62b4...
