Dale Gross


Today as I cycled on down the road. It was hot and I was tired. I didn't really have a good night's sleep and that's exactly how I felt. After a few hours of not feeling so great about the ride, I took a break at a Peach Stand. The proprietor's name was Dale Gross and he knew everything there was to know about peaches. I offered to buy one, but he was only selling them buy the bushel. So he gave me one. I sat and talked to him for what seemed like a couple of hours... just talking. When it was time to leave he gave me more peaches than I could carry, but I took them anyway. They were the best peaches I've ever had in my life. Thanks, Dale. Spending time with him made me forget all about feeling miserable.
