Who was lady with the big flowers at Circle R?

By Ralph Waggener

Byron Crawford recently asked who was the lady at the Circle R who wore the big flowers everyday? It was of course Sylvia Wilson!

Sylvia getting her job is a story by itself! Her brother-in-law, Leo Wheatley, built a motel across the street from the Circle R and had been after J. D. Harper to open for breakfast with no results!

Leo came to the Circle R and showed J. D. a blueprint of a restaurant that he said he would build if J. D. did not open for breakfast!

J. D. told him he had no one to run it and Leo told him, "I can take care of that, my sister-in-law Sylvia Wilson will do that for you!" That's when Sylvia and her flowers became a a big draw to the Circle R! Success can come in many and various ways!
