Name: Carney Farris
Age: 89
Hometown: Nashville, Tennessee
Claim to Fame: Operated a Christian commune in the 70's and 80's on a farm west of Nashville.
"If daddy came back from work or was out driving somewhere, he would just pick up hitchhikers. They both picked up hitchhikers. Those hitchhikers would end up in our basement sleeping or in one of the farm houses. And they were not all good characters. So I think that's where the concern for the danger came from, but it also taught all of us an appreciation that everybody has a story."
Due to some memory issues for our interviewee this episode, Carney's two daughters were there as a support to help distill and make sequential the story of Mrs. Farris' full and varied life.
