Gerald Doss writes:
Back when Happy was running for governor, I was just a kid. Sheldon Willock had a camp up on Green River. Happy would come to the camp and visit with Sheldon. They would hire me to paddle the boat for them to fish. I've heard lots of funny stories but don't remember any of them. Sheldon at that time had 10 cent stores in Columbia and Campbellsville, as well as Lebanon and Springfield - Gerald Doss
