Jerry Summers: Bill Casteel On Cotton Friday, February 5, 2021 - by Jerry Summers
Jerry Summers
With due deference to David Cook and Jay Greeson who have jointly asked to stick the proverbial literary needle into the eye of the public that was handled for 30 years in three columns a week in the Chattanooga Times by the late Bill Casteel this article is dedicated.
Bill provided the wit, sarcasm and often practical wisdom to a current issue of both large and minute proportions.
As previously mentioned in a column on the history, origin and purpose of the Cotton Ball (1933-2020), and one on its spoof, the Kudzu Ball (1981-1989), Bill would have had the unique ability to make fun of Chattanooga’s debutante ball created by the late Zella Armstrong in 1933 and ruled over until her death on April 12, 1965 as the “coming out” event of young ladies in the area.
