SHORT TAKES : Tennessee to Honor Dinah Shore
Dinah Shore, a Winchester, Tenn., native will be honored with the highly prestigious “Outstanding Tennessean” Award during a special reception at the Governor’s Mansion on Thursday.
The ceremony will mark the first of several events to welcome Dinah home. On Friday, the singer and talk show hostess will be interviewed on Nashville’s WSM, the radio station that launched her professional singing career and set her on an eventual course to international stardom.
The visit will be culminated by a variety special, “Dinah Comes Home Again” broadcast live from the Grand Ole Opry on Tuesday night on cable’s The Nashville Network. Scheduled to appear are Glen Campbell, Loretta Lynn, Joe Williams, Hal Linden, Norm Crosby, Mickey Gilley and Danny Gans.
