Good ole Enterprise, Alabama. Home of Sessions Peanuts and a statue of the Boll Weevil.. Wasn't that station called the "Wiregrass" station or something like that? Along with honoring the Boll Weevil, Enterprise put up a statue of an Army Aviator.

I just missed you. I was there (Rucker) Apr-Aug 66 and then again in 68 through 69. During those years the Aviation Advisory circular for the area advised there could be 600 aircraft in the air, on average, on a VFR day. I taught R/W instruments and my sectors were out of Hanchey Heliport to the NE towards Eufala.

Yup! The company that owned WIRB was Wiregrass Broadcasting. The manager was R. E. James, his brother was mayor of Montgomery.

As I look back over my life, Enterprise is one of the places where I would like to live again. I liked it there. Bought all my tires at Easy Pay Tire Co.

Thanks for the memories.
