One of my great grandfathers was a bootlegger in North Carolina. I just
found that out from my Uncle after my Mom died. She would never pass on
information like that. I thought it was pretty cool. In fact when he told
me, that was the first thing I said.
I guess he was a lousy bootlegger, because he didn't leave the family any
money.
