My Memories : I remember hearing the news of Robert Kennedy's death on a hot summer morning on the way to Pine Springs Resort, a 1960's Nashville swimming hole ran by my friend Gary Allen (from the Charlie Daniels Band) and his family. I was just a kid, my mother was giving myself and a childhood friend a ride to Pine Springs. The news was that Robert F. Kennedy had been shot. I remember it being sad, that another Kennedy had been assassinated.

I was young enough to not remember that day but i did go to Pine Springs often as a child.What an awesome place. Would love a pic of it for my scrapbook. Actually, that's how i found this page! Do you have any pics of it, that you would be willing to share?? My family doesn't have any.
As an adult, my family would camp out there with my children, after the airport bought the property. But there were no docks or anything left by then.
