The Dorrills: Sharing a Heritage

摘要

How many people can say that their first date was a hike in the woods? According to Carol Dorrill, her first date with John was exactly that. He brought her out to the Pike County family farm and proceeded to give her a walking tour of the 80 acres. She wondered if it were some sort of test, but proudly says she passed with flying colors. John was amazed that she kept up so well. After all, contrary to popular belief, "LA" (Lower Alabama) is NOT all flat land . . . there are quite a few hills and valleys. Little did he know that Carol, originally from Calhoun County, had grown up hiking all over Little River Canyon, Duggar Mountain, and the Talladega National Forest! And now, 40 years later, they're still walking that same 80 acres together, plus afew more.
