Beach Boys meet storm victims, tour Harvest devastation


When asked by actor John Stamos to name her favorite character from the TV show “Full House,” the 16-year-old student in the special needs class at Sparkman High School didn’t hesitate: “Jesse!”

“If she’d said Bob Saget, I’d have to leave,” Stamos quipped, referring to his series costar.

Stamos, who played Uncle Jesse Katsopolis on the family series for eight seasons, grinned and asked Carrie to be his guest later that night at a Beach Boys concert to benefit Huntsville Hospital’s Foundation.

Stamos, who often plays drums with the Beach Boys, asked to be included in the concert when he heard of the devastation from April tornadoes in Madison County, particularly to the Harvest area where many Sparkman students lived.

Beach Boys Mike Love, Bruce Johnston and Stamos were given a tour of hard-hit areas by Madison County Commissioner Dale Strong, including Anderson Hills subdivision, and homes along Yarbrough, Stovall and Hammond roads.

“Dale has been touring us around and really gave us an overview of what has happened,” Love said. “This is devastatingly heartbreaking.”
