Sumner County - adjoins my original home county of Wilson. Just a few fond memories....
* There was a big hill we climbed often as kids just outside my little home town and from there we could easily see the Gallatin Power House stacks.
* In my senior HS year, our little team of farm boys kicked Lebanon's team's ass in a country bowl football game, held in Westmoreland, either late 1964 or early 1965 (the year I graduated). Too damned old to even remember what the bowl event was called, but it may have been The Strawberry Bowl.
* My folks went to Portland almost every year to pick strawberries to can or freeze. One of my very best friends in college was from Portland at Tech. We were both ham radio operators, married and in engineering school.
* My family and I drove through the area on Hwy 31 to 231 on the way home many, many times from our current home in KY.
This Wiki page shows a TN/KY border sign on 32E/231 and I've think I've seen that sign hundreds of times on the way home into Wilson County.....see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumner_County,_Tennessee
Enjoyed sharing TN memories here. Have a great Thanksgiving weekend!.......
