Wednesday, July 3, 2019 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon KING: Man has been an entertainer for more than 60 years Continued from page 3 By this time, the Chinese had intervened in the con- flict and UN forces had been pushed back again down the peninsula. <When the sea ebbed, so did the river, so technically you were stuck on a mudbank in the middle of the river with the Chinese firing on one side and the Koreans firing on the other,= King recalled. <And of course, you were sitting ducks. Crazy. Frightening. Very frightening. We lost a few people like that.= King had met a young woman named Joan Ann dur- ing his stint in the Navy, and he left the service to marry her. <You don9t have family life in the Navy,= he said. <You9re away all the time.= Despite having come back from war <a nervous wreck= by his own estimation, King built a successful life for him- self in the insurance business. He remembers Joan Ann, whom he lost to cancer, with great fondness. Aside from family, his great passion in life has been music and performance. <I have been entertaining for over 60 years,= he said. <At the moment, I9m with two choirs and an opera group.= He9s performed with the Bristol Light Opera Club, doing Gilbert & Sullivan material and the like 4 which he delights in. <I9ve thoroughly enjoyed it,= he said. <It9s been so nice.= Stephen King, who is well known in the Sisters commu- nity for his business activi- ties and service on the Sisters School Board, came to the U.S. from the Channel Islands with a company he was work- ing with. <That9s when we lost him,= his father said with a wry smile. George has been visiting the U.S. once a year since. He greatly enjoys Sisters. <I love it here,= he said. <I love going around the area. We go to the Rodeo, of course. I always enjoy it.= The Kings attend Sisters Episcopal Church of the Tr a n s f i g u r a t i o n , w h e r e George feels most welcomed. <It9s very nice,= he said. You get to know everybody. Very nice indeed.= JUL 3 WED Food Cart Garden at Eurosports Trivia Night 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Sign up by 6:15 p.m. For additional information call Eurosports at 541-549-2471.
