During my years at Samford University, I would often stop by the huge peach market on my drive home.  You couldn't miss the enormous peach water tower.  I enjoyed the ice cream and fresh fruits.  I remember one time getting a bucket of the sweetest nectarines.

Legends

That's me on the right, standing next to Auburn freshman phenom Charles Barkley.  We were next to a track waiting for Herschel Walker to run the final leg of the 4×100. When Herschel got baton, he was like a locomotive.  Many years later, i got on a flight to Dallas and Herschel was at the gate, standing there waiting.  I walked by him and just said, "Hey, Herschel."  He was still in great shape!
