I met Johnny Cash in 1979 while attending NSTI.

He walked up to me and said, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY YARD!". He had a nice place on Old Hickory Reservoir. He was surrounded by apple orchards. The property with the orchard was across the road from his estate. The orchard was sold and subdivided. I was working for Nashville Electric Service and we were surveying a pole line to supply power for the new subdivision. I told Mr. Cash that we were going to have to put a guy wire in his yard to hold up a pole. He said "Oh no you're not!" I said "NO we are not." and we had to resurvey the pole line to keep the guy wire off his lawn. He was very happy and I had a story I could tell.

I would have told him to "walk the line"

I've always heard he was a very down to Earth man. I love the story about him when he accidently started a forest fire with his truck. He just told the state of Californistan what was on his mind.

I met June Carter-Cash at Baptist Hospital when dad had one of his by-pass surgeries. She drove in in a Rolls Royce and chatted with mom and my aunt like they were old friends. She was just going in for a check up.

June came into a garden center in Kingsport where my wife worked years ago. She bought some flowers and was very pleasant. John stayed in the truck and smiled when my wife nearly fell over herself when she recognized him.
