That would be about the most fun I could imagine, no fooling.

My dad always told me he was on Walton's car during the Blazer parade and Walton was handing out beers. He says he is in a photo in Sports Illustrated. I was young when he always told me this. I don't see him in that photo and have never been able to verify his SI claim..haha.

The Maddox Building in the Peal. Before renovation I believe. Once the home base of my grandmother's family business.

Those booths high (no pun intended) up were great places to smoke weed without getting caught. That place was a zoo in it’s heyday.
