USA/WORLD - As the On-the-Road 6-day admiration begins for the "boy from Troy" (Troy, AL), we smile with joy as we remember his deeds for 65+ years. For he was a relentless fighter for "GOOD TROUBLE" - If you see something that is NOT RIGHT, you must do something - speak up and speak out. Being prepared.
