I'm the daughter of a famous Bass fishing outfitter and retired pro-fisherman. No one outside of the fishing world would know that because why would you watch the Outdoor Channel or read the sports section of the paper if you don't like outdoor sports? My great uncles, Jester and Cotton Layfield, invented "The Big Joe Spinner" which is endorsed by my cousin John Bradshaw Layfield of the WWE. I actually live across the street from my late uncle's widow. She's 96 years old and still works in her flower beds with a cigarette hanging out of her mouth. Every time I have gone over there I leave with something- a picture, candy dish, etc. My late cousin, Joe Layfield, used to ride around town with a boat motor attached to his tail gate smoking a cigarette with his oxygen mask on and the tank sitting next to him on the bench seat. Think about that for a minute... My family is only one part of the equasion eventhough my cousin Vikki did marry a man who eventually was put on death row- you now know him as the first man to be scanned layer by layer into a computer for Cancer research after his execution.
