Ya know, if you were raised in Dothan, you have in incredible "inheritance." You might not EVER be aware of it but it's just as REAL as the laughs John Boy and Billy get with they use "Dothan" as a punchline. What I'm calling an inheritance is DOTHAN'S STORY, a story that's not very long. One of the most intriguing characters in THE DOTHAN STORY is 4-time Dothan Mayor Buck Baker. In the words of Rodney Dangerfield, "Buck Baker don't get no respect." He is supposedly depicted on a mural. What a JOKE! Anyway, I'm proposing a BUCK BAKER DINNER somewhere in town next March and all we'll do is get acquainted, talk all things BUCK (this cat is an anti-hero in the same class as Randall P. McMurphy or Cool Hand Luke) and maybe set up a little portable TV studio and interview folks who have some "BAKER FAMILY MEMORIES" along with all the family heirlooms we can put together. Maybe we'll even meet that weekend @ First Methodist and listen to Buck's chimes once more.(might even find out if we can play "DIXIE" on them...)
