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'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.
