acation to different places most of the time to Savannah Georgia and Tybee Island Georgia she loves the beach but I'm more of a mountain person (wonder why that is)? I usually visit eastern Ky. at least 2 times a year to play bluegrass music and golf with Clovis,Jerry,Roy Manns and brother Jack when I can get him to play. We have great times together just like the old Reed Branch basketball days on the outside courts winter, summer, rain, or snow whatever the competition would go on. If you ever wonder what made them such great basketball players that would be the answer playing day and night in all kinds of weather from daylight to dark. It is still hard for me to figure out who was the best of the three Manns brothers they all had different moves and used them to perfection. Well I really enjoyed my years in eastern Ky. and Garrett high school I could probably go on forever about the place and the great people I grew up with. To me it will always be home. Will close for now hope to hear from some of you.
