About four years ago, Gault called me to offer a puppy from one of his beloved mama beagles. I had taught Mike, Gregg, and Frank in high school, and Gregg and I were close friends after he graduated and went to West Point. Gault offered the pup as an appreciation of my work with his young men, but truthfully, the young men taught me far more than I taught them. The dog, named Savannah, sleeps in my bed at night and follows me wherever I go. She is a good and proper lady, just as Gault would want her to be.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3701815.post-57442295508111438222007-06-11T20:03:00.000-04:002007-06-11T20:03:00.000-04:00Thanks for the comments about my dad and sister, R...Thanks for the comments about my dad and sister, Rodney.

There will never be another man like him,for he was in many ways a gift of the ethics and morals of 19th century moreso than a modern man. He believed in doing all things correctly, he believed in the values of human decency to all people, and he quietly but effectively loathed those who were lazy and irresponsible. <BR/><BR/>He was a loving man to his family and to his friends, and there has never been a greater lover of Beagles hounds to walk the face of this earth.<BR/><BR/>Sadly, it is ironic that his murderer will benefit from the vast improvements to the Marion County Detention system that were initiated solely by Gault Beeson. <BR/><BR/>I don't know who Rodney Welch is, but I appreciate the opportunity to add to your writing on Gault.<BR/><BR/>Paul Batson, Greenville SC - A 50+ year friend of Gault BeesonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
