Bootleg Slim: Honey of a Bus Trip

The summer of 2003 was a hot one in the Deep South . But, when a young Atlanta-based street vending entrepreneur known as “Bootleg Slim”, gets the opportunity to accompany a group of senior citizens on a gambling trip to Mississippi , the MARTA Five Points selling machine closes shop and boards an old, hot bus bound for the Redneck Riviera . His humorous foibles include teenage wanna-be gangsters, a band of mischievous senior ladies (the O.G.’s – old girls), and good-old boy hotel security. Oh, let’s not forget “Honey” – the prep school-bred daughter of one of the most respected civil rights families in the country.

How many times have you heard someone say, “I saw Vernon Fambro!” but they get his phone number or e-mail address? While many class members have been sighted, many remain just beyond our grasp for personal contact. If you have any contact information for class mates, please contact Janice Robertson Franklin at franklin@feelingprettylingerie.com .  Janice and members of the contact committee appreciates any contact information you can provide on class members. “We really want to make sure that everyone in the class knows about the reunion, so no one will feel excluded. That is very important to us. Plus, with limited seating, timing is paramount in securing a ticket,” Janice recently stated.

“Congratulations!” to Rev. Lee Franklin , Youth Minister at Atlanta’s Mt. Ephraim Baptist Church (1202 W. Marietta St., NW, Atlanta, GA) on a successful Youth and Young Adult Emphasis Week with week long services that focused on the theme “The Great ‘I AM”. The highlight was Rev. Franklin’s sermon this morning “There Is a Doctor in the House”. Due to his growing work with the NAACP and the Interdenominational Theological Center (ITC) he also announced the expansion of the church’s youth ministry into a youth commission which included introducing three associate pastors who will be under his tutelage. Rev. Franklin has been on the front lines with the Trayvon Martin case. Best wishes to Rev. and Mrs. Franklin and their family!
