This was when we were standing in two counties at one time. That's a check off my bucket list.

Captain William A. Handley came from Georgia after the Indian Removal Act; this made more land available to many wealthy citizens. The Alabama Gold Rush had brung a lot of people because everyone wants to be wealthy and didn’t care how they got it; so his family wanted it also. The railroad helped by transferring goods that his business made to go to the Cold War veterans. After the Cold War, he went out of business because he really didn’t have any customers. He gave land so schools could be built because he thought education was so important in the city. He cared about the future of the city so he gave land for schools because he was generous to think about the people that he don’t know, and wanted them to have a great education. I can learn a lot from him but the biggest thing is to never give up even when the roughest time comes. When something goes there is a new opportunity that you have to find. Also, don't be stingy with your money; you never know if how much it might mean to someone else like us. If he didn't give land so the school could be built; Some of us wouldn't have a great education that we have.
