Of course I forgot some stuff. It bleeds into my mind and the guilt settles in. Not good with guilt. Some things I can't mention but others I can. Lets start with Chris (sp?) Kohrs from the Milk Run. She bought a good amount of our t-shirts and had her staff wear them at the Milk Run. Didn't change until the big fest started. Appropriate and fair. Always with a smile. Husband and wife met up with me in Key West at the Green Parrot some years back. Fun.
Karl, the social and physical co-leader of the band with a heart of just cooked buttered corn on the cob and always a loud ass greeting. There are people in that town that greet me by name because of Karl! I enjoy it and have breakfast with him almost everyday.
Our morning coffee is delivered by Karl or one of his staff. Usually there by 6am and often earlier. Karl supplies the ice at the farmhouse. We've gone by the honor system since day one. The majority of the time the till works well. But its easy to balance the few shortfalls. The Foxhole long ago decided to not share in ice profits. I mean, ice that close? Manna from heaven!
When the Vickery's towing truck died Karl extended the use of one of his farm trucks. When does this ever happen? And he did it with a smile!
Karl stores and moves my camper to the two sites. And he smiles doing it! When the Health Department demanded that I have a towing plan in case of inclement weather (as we've have) Karl got on the phone and implemented his huge truck and farm tractors solution. That shut 'em up! We can't exist without this guy. And he never runs out of my beer. Even the Bait Shop has slipped up on that once in a while. But, hey, I'm very forgiving. THANK YOU MILK RUN!
Lets talk about the Allen (Allan) family soon. Oh yeah, Most of my phone calls to Karl were at a little after 5am. You can imagine how sharp we were.
