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!
