Jackson Brower confesses mistake on actor/Amish issue

This story is a wonderful romance, the makings, Tv people of a great story about an Amishman's love of cars and the love of his life. Jackson Brower, a born again Adair Countian, Pennsyltuckian, and raconteur extraordinaire, recalls it from his Pellyton Days phase. Jackson Brower may not realize he's destined to come home to Barnett's Creek but he is under 1) The Adair County Retired Millionaire Program - You earn the money elsewhere but return to Columbia to spend it. Or, 2) The Adair County version of Once in Grace Always in Grace: Once a Born Again Adair Countian, Always an Adair Countian.
Comments re article 59318 Backyard Oil Amish Dan is the real thing

By Jackson Brower

Ah...if I would have bet that Amish Dan was an actor, I wouldn't have bet very much. I stand corrected. Times change in 30 years.

Around early 1980, an Amishman's nephew wanted a car so bad he went out and bought one, despite warnings that if he did, they would kick him out.



He ended up hiding out at our cabin for a couple of days. It's a good thing their rules did not include penalties for "Englishmen" harboring Amish runaways, or we would have received a visit from the "Amish security force" on their buggies with red and blue warning signs instead of orange.

The young man had a reason for wanting the car so much...he was courting a young lady from Caldwell Ridge. From what I heard down at Lemmon's Grocery story, she was "one of the (name withheld to protect innocent) girls." That didn't narrow it down too much, eh editor?

At this point in time, the couple have probably blended into Adair County society successfully and nobody knows the difference.

He's probably got the wonderful southern accent perfected to a tee, just like Amish Dan. - Jackson Brower
