My daughter and I were at the Aiken City Council meeting last night, and our hometown celebrity William 'Refrigerator" Perry was in attendance! The City was honoring him for his recent vote into the SC Football Hall of Fame. Here he is, #72, with some of his family members :)
I didn't get a chance to speak with William, I wonder if he remembers me. Years ago I worked part-time at the local grocery store (Bi-Lo) where he was a regular customer. I'm definitely a fan of his! We were on a first name basis back then and spoke all the time at the store. I even bumped into him at the airport one time and he said hi. I haven't seen him since I worked at the store. It was nice to see him last night, even if we didn't get to speak.
Another reason to live in Aiken, you never know who you will bump into at the grocery store :)
