"GONE WITH THE WIND"

As I prepare this post, the all-time great classic "Gone With The Wind" is being shown on TCM.


Here's a couple of true related stories:


1. At Purdue, I was friends with a young (16 year old high school grad) genius from Ruth, KY. He went to see the movie while at Purdue and when intermission came, he thought the movie was over and left! This super star became a VP with IBM!


2. Also at Purdue, I had a very good friend who I asked to come visit me during the summer. "Just ask anyone in Jennings Co., they will give you directions." The very night he came, I had taken my wife-to-be to see the movie. I got home around 1:30am. There was my friend talking with my Mom and Dad. I was embarrassed and my folks were upset at me. My friend said he asked a number of people where I lived. Finally he found a person who gave directions. He said, "You must be pretty good because the sheriff had never heard of you!"
