Both Willie Bee and usda8ahs8/9 could have used this in 1965!

The Saga of Shed Bacon Moves East

     Another early sighting of Leroy was near Homer, Georgia.  A fellow named Willie Bee McCall  reported the encounter.  Willie Bee worked for the Tennessee Valley Authority operating a large mower, clearing brush under power lines.   It as on a hot summer day in 1965  when Willie Bee found perfectly prepared bacon!  It was about lunch time and  Willie Bee was mowing a line east of town when he saw an old cemetery.   He loved history and decided to stop, walk through the cemetery, eat his sandwich and drink some of his sweet tea.  Willie Bee loved to imagine what the people's  lives must have been like as he read the names on the headstones.  As he walked he began to notice hog tracks in the sandy soil.  They were very large hog tracks. It was at 11:53 a.m. when behind a tall headstone Willie Bee saw a pig's tail wiggling.  He slowly moved toward it, watching his feet trying not to step  on a twig.  Suddenly he heard what sounded like a cow running through the brush.  Looking up the pigtail was gone.  He went to where the pigtail had been and got a surprise. There lying  on a near by headstone were 4 slices of perfectly prepared bacon.  He put the bacon on the tomato sandwich he had brought for lunch and had a grand meal sipping on his sweet tea.  After lunch he took one last look at the headstone where he found the bacon and noticed it was one of the types sold by Sears Roebuck and Company.
