Where the Name Comes From
Growing up I used to visit my Grandaddy at the fire house. Some of my favorite memories from my childhood were going down the fire pole on his back because I was too scared to go down on my own and eating watermelon with him on the riverside watching fireworks on the 4th of July while he and his crew were waiting with the boat incase of an emergency. I watched as he studied to pass and become a Captain. He retired when I was still in high school but those memories will be with me forever. In early 2021 my Grandaddy got sick and was diagnosed with Lung Cancer. He started chemo and did other treatments but they stopped working. Unfortunately he lost his battle in early December 2021. I know that he may no longer be here with us but that he lives on through his family, We are his Legacy, and I will always be proud to be the Captains Granddaughter.
