Gov, I promise you, I’m gonna read your book. So one day a guest probably around either this time or little bit later on August, September, we asked some new arrivals and one of the new arrivals was another governor, a lot of Alabama, governor Don Siegelman, another good and dear friend of mine who had written his book. One day, there was some new arrivals, a new, we was all at the camp at the time, right? The camp was located in over there next to the, the low federal prison and, uh, immigration, federal prison. So he was hogging all the mail, but they brought a new that everybody loved and respected to go. Most people, they need to get one piece of mail. I mean, sometime he’d get 20 pieces of mail in one day. And so people would write him on a regular basis. Uh, some other guys might get one letter. I called normally after four o’clock, uh, you know, after four 30, we all sit in there and standing there waiting for them to call our name for mayor.Īnd as you know, you know, I might get one or two, three letters. All of us would line up in a hall during the time for me. And I’m going to start out by just sharing that at doing what we call mail call or mail call out. So we, I started having conversations with the governor and find out a lot of interesting things about him and a lot of great things. And as Bob and I have started having conversation that dove sits there. So anybody who knows Bobby knows exactly who am I speaking of Bobby with his suite mates, they shared the same list, space size to go visit. They too many people can say that, right, besides his wife, Trina, but also another friend of mine who was his bulk mate was, uh, uh, we all call him Bobby B. But I want to just share a few things that, uh, he and I encountered while we was spending quality time together on a daily basis. We going to call this going down memory lane of all the great memories of governor Edwin outwards, and many of us know him in many, in all communities loved and respected him. I got a chance to not just visit with him, but got to know him very creative, very, I would say colorful character of a man, very witty may wise, just much, much wisdom, but I just got to want to share a few mothers. I was also given charges for Medicaid, fraud, conspiracy, and some other things where I had to go do some time in the federal prison. They wind up doing time together at the federal bureau of prisons in Oakdale, Louisiana, governor hill was, as we all know, was given eight years for veteran charges, too numerous to name.
