During the '50's, Lester Marchbanks owned and operated Marchbanks Grocery on Bible Hill Road in Parsons, Tennessee. He loved kids and always made us feel welcome when we'd stop to buy snacks after school.
His introduction was always the same: "Howdy Gentleboys, let’s have nothing but silence and very little of that!”
One of his favorites and oft-repeated maxims was this: "Gentle-boys," he’d say, "if you want your dreams to come true, here’s the secret. Out of every dollar you make, give a dime to God as you pray, use a dime for yourself to play, save a dime for a rainy day."
Wish I'd followed his excellent advice!
