History: remembering local icon Bill Beard
2019-03-11- Photo by Mitzi Bault, CM Staff
Adair County icon Bill Beard was always trying to pull a trick on townspeople in his later years. He was referred to as "quite a character". At first, most of us kids were kind of scared of him - he came around often to see my Daddy. The only time Bill ever scared me was when I was trying to speak to him -- he was a big, tall man -- and he just simply picked me up, explaining it hurt his back bending over to talk to me -- a short girl, even shorter than I am now. - MB Comments | Permalink
