Some of you may remember Wide World Of Sports with Curt Gowdy as the host many years ago. Curt and Bear did a couple of quail hunts on Jimmy's Sedgefield Plantation. If any of you are familier with Jackie Bushman, who has the Buckmaster hunting show series on tv, he does a hunt each year at Sedgefield for the physically challenged hunters and it is part of his series shows. Jimmy was very active in helping those that were less fortunate by sharing this beautiful place with them.

Sad to see the vanishing of the "greatest generation".

RIP Mr. Hinton and thank you for sharing your life and making this world a better place.
