Joe HunterPreacher was from my home town of West Plains, Missouri. When I was a kid, I remember my mother taking me to his grocery store on what is now Preacher Roe Blvd. He was a very nice and unassuming gentleman. The store was nothing special, just your average small town mom and pop operation in the early 1960's. Interestingly, West Plains is also the home town of former Pirate centerfielder Bill Virdon, PGA golfer Stan Utley, and country singer Porter Wagner. Amazing how a town of that size would produce so many famous people.
