Mississippi

When I was a young newspaper reporter covering Bolivar County, Miss., in the early 1970s I remember Mr. Jimmy Sanders appearing before the board of supervisors to request some kind of industrial bond issue for a big expansion. They granted it. After the meeting the board -- most of them being farmers -- recalled when the Sanders operation amounted to a store front in downtown Cleveland. One of them recalled that years before if you bought chicken feed during a busy afternoon at the store, there was a chance one of them said that Jimmy Sanders, himself, might have helped load it for you.

So from my perspective this is way further than I could have ever guessed the Sanders name would go within my lifetime.
