Paul Newman

[Bobby Bass]

Paul Newman, just a hell of a nice guy. My friend Elmer who passed away a few years ago would talk about Paul Newman. Back in the 50's Elmer had rented a cabin up on lake Vermilion for a month. To his surprise his neighbor was Paul Newman. Being about the same age they shared some fishing days and a few beers on the lake and became friends. Almost 50 years later they still kept in contact. Elmer would call Paul when he was running low on his popcorn and Mr. Newman would send him a case. I was at his house one day and he said he need to call about some popcorn. As I sat at the kitchen table he called his friend spoke for a few minutes and asked if I wanted to say hello. I took the phone and Paul asked me how the old fart was doing. Just a hell of a nice guy.

Paul Newman was one of those one in million.  He is the definition of cool and 100% class. His food products are really good too.

 

God Bless you Paul Newman!
