It started in Mt. Vernon

Growing up, there were small sawmills in almost every community.  In Mt. Vernon, the Anthony's had a sawmill.  It was less than a mile from our house.  The name of mom and dad's road, is Anthony Mill Road. Some of the older boys on our school bus worked there stacking boards.  They were strong and tough.  I wanted to be like them.  I remember hoping to stack boards too, when I got big enough.  Sports kept us busy, and working at dad's grocery store.  We ran the roads watching Sheri play basketball, and softball, and Melanie in the band.  I never worked at the sawmill. Fast forward thirty years.  I was working for Marvin Neely, and Guy Christopher at Respond First Aid.  We sold and delivered safety and first aid supplies to businesses.   One of my good customers was Pallatec in Fayetteville.  Randy and Rocky Cowley are brothers.  They own and run Pallatec.  Rocky used to be in the grocery world at Red Food....
