Today is Four-Star General Carl W. Stiner’s 82nd birthday.  And it was celebrated in style at Big O’s Git-n-Go.  Stiner’s close local friends were there to have some fun and spend a little time with their favorite US Army General (retired).

Stiner, who recently moved to Knoxville, used to spend mornings enjoying breakfast at the east of La Follette gathering place with his pals.  Today’s lunch time celebration was reminiscent of those breakfast get-to-gethers.
