About Me

My Photo
Name:

Born May 18, 1953; got saved at Truett Memorial BC in Hayesville, NC 1959. On rigged ballot which I did not rig got Most Intellectual class of 71, Gaffney High School. Furman Grad, Sociology major but it was little tougher than Auburn football players had Had three dates with beautiful women the summer of 1978. Did not marry any of em. Never married anybody cause what was available was undesirable and what was desirable was unaffordable. Unlucky in love as they say and even still it is sometimes heartbreaking. Had a Pakistani Jr. Davis Cupper on the Ropes the summer of 84, City Courts, Rome Georgia I've a baby sitter, watched peoples homes while they were away on Vacation. Freelance writer, local consultant, screenwriter, and the best damn substitute teacher of Floyd County Georgia in mid 80's according to an anonymous kid passed me on main street a few years later when I went back to get a sandwich at Schroeders. Had some good moments in Collinsville as well. Ask Casey Mattox at www.clsnet.org if he will be honest about it. I try my best to make it to Bridges BBQ in Shelby NC at least four times a year.

Some thoughts on Britney Griner

  I never met Britney Griner but I know a girl and her father in Collinsville, Alabama who played against her in Juco. Candace Orr held her to four points, thats a big deal, one of the greatest of all time held to four by a girl from a town of about 2,000 people. Candace played her high school ball in Ft Payne home of Randy Owen about 14 miles up the road.

     Collinsville's Becky Kennedy is now a chaplain at Baylor where Britney played maybe while current Furman President Elizabeth Davis was in administration there with Clinton's antagonist was president. Davis played Trombone in High school. She and Becky were members of the same church in Waco, Seventh and Charles or something.

    Facebook for WHNT of Huntsville Alabama is giving Britney Hell today. They seem to forgot the lesser American Donald Trump implied two of Nick Saban's Heisman winners Henry and Mark Ingram were sons a bitches in Huntsville with the Bama Legend Richard Shelby on the Dais.

    They could learn something from Baptist News Global and its list of great American patriots, ones who knew their ASS from a Hole in the ground (paraphrase of Randy Newman). Ones who knew the meaning of the word, not reflex when Trump said Sons of Bitches.

     Among them Fannie Lou Hamer, Lincoln ( see recent Meacham bio of Abe), Frank Johnson, Frederick Douglas, George W. Truett, Harriet Tubman. Those are great Americans.

    I think they all would welcome Britney Home!
