Just a good old southerner - birdshill123 - 06-04-2008 13:07 Some of you may remember last year when I was criticized for being hard on all you confederates. I know this does not have much to do with BB's but I thought I would post this anyway. Our new to us Monaco was purchase from a fine southern gentleman in Mcrae Georgia. He goes by the name "WJ". When I bought this unit he signed over the title without having one cent in his hands as I was wiring the money. I pointed this out and he said I seemd like an honest person and was not worried. When my wife and I arrived he had he unit parked outside full of water and the AC running. He and his lovely wife insisted on taking us to dinner. Afterwards he took us on a tour of the local area. He was the biggest Vidalia onion grower in Georgia. Sold out to Del Monte. He asked me if I wanted to see his '"sheds". I envisioned a bunch of leanto's. Instead they were these huge warehouses. maybe 75,000 sf. He was the first grower to utilize controlled environment. 2 % humididty with very low oxygen and cool. Then we drove to the family cemetary from 1880. Next we passed an old shack that used to be a juke joint in the 40's. We left Monday morning and today he called to make sure everything was OK. WJ is the most interesting person I have ever met. We will probably return in a year to visit him and his wife. Real Southern hospitality!!! Bruce 88 FC |
