Pickwick Lake - Buford Pusser - "Walking Tall"

We are in Buford Pusser territory.  Just about 20 mile north of our marina is the town where Buford Pusser was sheriff.  He was elected Sheriff of McNairy County in 1964. The movie "Walking Tall" depicted his career as a law enforcement officer.

He once kept his boat at this marina.  It wasn't called "Grand Harbor Marina" then, but it was a smaller marina where many in the area kept their boats.

Good News - Gale has recuperated fully from his fight with this round of skin cancer and the more debilitating effects of the treatment.  He's looking is "cute" self again.
