Patsy Cline's real birthplace!

[edit]

I call attention to the incorrect fact on the internet's Wikipedia. For Gore VA as I have included they indicate that Patsy Cline aka Patsy Cline Hensley was born near Gore ergo Winchester.

In fact Pasty Cline Hensley was born pretty much across the street from the new East Rockingham High School in Elkton, Virginia. I understand that she remained there to about the age 4 when she did move to the Winchester area mentioned by Wikipedia. I would hope that this error could be noted by official Elkton and that Elkton recieve the credit for Patsy's birthplace. I have two acquaintances who knew Patsy well, one has passed and he is buried within 50 feet of Patsy in Winchester. I presume the other is still living in Shenandoah.

with regards,
