Thanks to Cheryl, she has provided photos of her parents, Leon Willcutt and Ruth Smith, wedding at the Birmingham
Armory, July 12, 1952. Her father, Leon Willcutt , was a member of several Dixie Jamboree bands. He was a member
of the Sunny Valley Boys with Joe Rumore, Curley Fagan, and Rebe and Rabe. He was also a member of the Uncle Bob Helton
and Mother's Best Red Hatters.
