We had about 82 acres until the big Corps of Engineers lake (Lake Hartwell) covered much of it up. What we had left was mostly woods, brushy rocks, and some upland pasture. The stark realization of not having bottom land caused my dad, POP, to look for other options. We moved to Barnesville, GA, where I attended the only accredited school in the whole county -- Gordon Military Academy. Not a lot of fun, but not too bad. We then moved to Anderson, SC where Pop ran a marina and was part owner. I worked the gas docks evenings after school and weekends.
Not a bad job for a high schooler. I even spent some time teaching the young ladies to water ski. Really, not a bad job. More later.............
LOL! Teaching the ladies.
