So the banana is a kind of good luck charm? Is this something unique to Florida hunters in general, or is this a magic charm just used by gator harpooners?
Give me the scoop, maybe I will try it next time I go deer hunting!
Cristy is either the daughter of Chris Plott, or else his little sister.
Yes they are the same family that came up with the Plott hound.
I grew up in the suburbs in Atlanta in the sixties. The Plotts were our next door neighbors. Their family was, indeed, from "up in the mountains" somewhere, I am not sure why Mr. Plott had moved to Atlanta.
They kept a couple of Plott hounds in the backyard in a fenced area, those dogs howled all the time.
Chris was a couple of years ahead of me, I didn't know him well, but I was good friends with his brother Phil. I can remember sitting in their basement, talking with Phil in 1966 and listening to Ga. Bulldog games on the radio.
Phil passed away in a tragic way as a young man, or else I imagine he would be in the family business today.
Connie, Chris' wife, was in my homeroom for 3 years so I knew her fairly well.
I haven't seen the Plotts in 40 years. We lived in north Atlanta, their tannery is in Griffin, which is 40 miles south of Atlanta, I hope and trust that they have gotten the hell out of the Big City, and that they now live out in the country, where they belong, near Griffin.
