Ain't it a shame about Chunky?

By Walter Geiger

I had not lived hereabouts for long when I was invited by the Barnesville Bulldog Club to go on its first ever bus trip – a men only excursion that kicked off a series of legendary trips.

That inaugural journey was to Knoxville, Tennessee where some 40 of us had the privilege to watch as Herschel Walker pounded Bill Bates into dust en route to his first touchdown as a Dawg. I knew Chunky Shiver before the bus departed but became aware of his quick, caustic wit on the trip.
