So growing up I always thought my papaw and his brother always had a weird relationship because they were never really that cordial with each other and when they spoke to each other it was always very short answers and to the point....no really small talk that you would expect from brothers.
Well, my papaw passed away back in 2004 and then in 2012 I was fishing with my dad and we were just reminiscing on stories about my papaw and so I asked my dad why papaw and his brother had such a strange relationship. So at this point I found out 2 things I never knew about my papaw.....he used to run moonshine back and forth from Tennessee to Kentucky and that he got caught and spent some time in Brushy Mountain. Then my dad proceeded to tell me that my papaw's brother snitched on him and he was the reason he got sent there.
