Ears, Buddy Pate stands 6'6" and weighs at least 250, no fat, Much of a man. Course, when he lived on Maryland street just off Twin, he was the runt of the crowd, well, after you counted me, he was. He has been our friend from childhood on up, and married another of our friends from childhood on up, Gloria, I think her maiden name was Parker. She lived on East street in the first house. Buddy is not only my friend, he's also my bodyguard, so watch it. MVB ES
You're right Cubby. It was Billy Pate. He is retired from Floyd & Beasley and living aroung Atlanta. He didn't have a drivers license in college but later went to work driving for Floyd & Beasley in Atlanta.
Here are Buddy and Gloria a couple of years ago when they were making pear preserves. I made 'em feel sorry for me, so that sent me a jar. STILL remember how good those were! Thanks again, and HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
