Character is not developed in moments of temptation and trial. That is when it is intended to be used.

He owned half of Cullman and was a major role player in its growth. Always handed out $2 bills with his picture on them and you never saw him without a bowtie. He had a blonde woman that was his right hand and drove him a many of miles, seems like in a vett up to a few years ago.

Said he was on Troy university BOT. You don’t sit on a university board without having a crap ton of money. Gonna name a building after him they said. RIP old warrior and thank you for your military and civilian service.

He had some stuff going in Hazzard KY and they liked him so much, they named a street in his honor.
