Q: What is the most memorable
moment of your career with Hoss's?
A: I went to the Fulton County 4-H livestock sale as a
buyer obviously representing Hoss's. I believe I had one of our
company hats on, but as I walked in I heard a lady whisper, "Oh
good, Hoss's is here." Anyway, as the sale continued, I bought
a market hog from this little gal that seemed to be about 7 years
old. Her hog was a bit contrary in the pen, but she managed it without
her Dad's help. This may be one of those "you had to be there
things" but after the sale, here she came around the pens with
her boots, jeans, and cowgirl hat on grinning from ear to ear and
obviously very proud of herself. I was sitting on the front row
of the bleacher seats and she walked right over to me and gave me
a big hug and said, "Mr. Smith, thanks for buying my pig."
It was one of those times in life when you're all but forced to
sit down and reevaluate the things you feel are most important.

Q: What's the funniest or most

A: I was in a pub with a bunch of friends in college.
We were throwing darts and one of my friends was close by playing
the guitar and singing. There was a mixed gender crowd of about
20 people sitting close by. As I was standing at the line throwing,
my roommate decided that my shorts would look better down around
my ankles. So he acted on it. I don't remember feeling embarrassed.
I do remember the music stopping and everyone laughing and pointing,
although I'm not sure why!

around in the mud with a burlap bag full of frogs. |
