Ragsdale’s fruit basket
You have to give Lee Tramel some credit, he knows how to respond to a put down. Last week when County Mayor Mike Ragsdale was on the Gene Patterson show “Tennessee This Week” he referred to Tramel as a, “a produce salesman.”
So what does Tramel do? He kindly sends the Mayor a fruit basket at his office on the sixth floor with a card that reads, “Best wishes from your old friend the Produce Man”.
Supposedly this fruit basket arrived within the hour of Lumpy Lambert’s announcement of a County Commission investigation of Ragsdale. Rumors of fruit flying through the air soon followed. Some say that the Mayor has a problem with his temper. Only the janitor knows for sure.
Betty Bean chronicles all this and more in her article today in the Halls Shopper News, “Six days of ‘Harbergate’”.
I wonder how many fruit baskets will arrive this week? Think Mike Chase will send one?
