Preach was a really nice, soft-spoken man when I met him. Roe was the local hero of West Plains, Missouri. West Plains epitomizes a typical southern county seat, with all main roads leading to the centralized courthouse. Mainly religious and country stations on the radio, genteel townsfolk, clean and sober. As of 1999, there was a breakfast place where you could get two eggs, toast and hash browns for 35 cents! Can't say that I've ever found a better deal in my life!
