Looking back on it, had Big Al stood firm on his initial demand of $100 a month, it would have still been worth it. Two years later, famous Fayetteville farrier Russell Hill told me of a vacancy in the main house of the Renfrow Farm on River Road. I engaged Dr. Raymond Renfrow in a test of wills over the price he would demand for this dwelling, which rested in the forefront of his 160- acre country get-away. Dr. Renfrow was a tougher negotiator than Big Al had been. He stood firm on his price, even inviting me to move along aer my attempt to beat him down a bit. I shook hands with him on a month-to-month arrangement at the now-familiar price of $75 per month. at arrangement also subsequently endured for 24 months. e Renfrow place was bigger than e Shack. ere were three window units and a wood stove. House plants were unnecessary, as the vines grew in through the window seals. Breakfast at Renfrow's was a healthier meal than it had been in e Shack because the slant in this kitchen floor meant that all the bacon grease naturally ran to one corner of the frying pan. Less hydrogenated fats in the scrambled eggs, therefore. Once moved in, my mother came out to cozy up the house. I surmised that she had eaten some bad chicken for lunch that day because she did not stay long, and she did not look well at all when she got in her car to leave. Apparently, the memory of that food poisoning stayed with her because I don't think she visited even once in those subsequent two years. 910.988.0097 5239 Yadkin Road Fayetteville, NC 28303 www.therockguns.com THE ROCK Guns & Accessories • Custom Builds • Buy/Sell/Trade • Laser Engraving • In-House Gunsmith and more!
