Local History: Bill Beard (1927-2001) was an original About: Historic picture being hung at Ol Joes BB Que Bill Beard (1927-2001) To ColumbiaMagazine.com: Dad always told the story of Bill and his giving a tie to every Methodist preacher on their birthday, Dad included - and he knew most of their birthdays. Bill did not go to the Methodist Church (Christian, I think), but he gave the ties to the Methodist preachers. He would also be offered money by someone holding a hand full of coins out to him, by people who thought they could get the best of him. He always took the nickles, though there might be dimes and quarters in the outstretched palm. Someone finally asked him why he did took the smaller denominations. His answer was a classic: If he took the larger ones, the people would stop offering them to him. He was an original. s/Martha Henry Berry This story was posted on 2009-10-18 02:01:34
