NAMES IN THE NEWS : Oprah Buys House for Her Dad
Talk show hostess Oprah Winfrey has purchased a $330,000 house in this Nashville bedroom community for her father, a city councilman who runs a barbershop.
Vernon Winfrey, however, said he is unsure when he’ll move into the two-story brick house, since it would force him to give up his council seat in Nashville.
“It’s there for Oprah if she wants to come back and stay, or it’s there for me,” he said Tuesday.
“I don’t plan to move there tomorrow, but the possibility is there that I might move one day. In the meantime, I might use it as sort of a little getaway on the weekends.”
