Lee Anderson Haynes.
My Grand Pa.
The rumor about him being a moonshiner/bootlegger are not so much a rumor as it was fact.
Way I see it he did what was necessary to feed his family.
I'm his namesake.Really I'm named after both of my Grand Pa's.
John Thomas Smith.Baptist preacher and Lee Anderson Haynes.
That makes me John Lee Haynes.A name I like and thank you Momma for taking your time in naming me.She said the nurses where pushing her for a name to put on my birth certificate.
The rest is history.
Yes Grand Pa after 58 years I still miss you.
Hope you got a cool shady tree to sit under and plenty of nice folks for you to talk and tell tales with and all the peaches and cream you want for breakfast.Hope you got some good hunting dogs with you Grand Pa.
Just save me a chair at the breakfast table Grand Pa right next to you and Daddy.
