R.L. retired from Macon Co. School Maintenance Program. After that he and a good friend, Tom Ash, did odd jobs for people, mostly painting. He loved listening to Blue Grass and Gospel music and going to Pickin' on the Square on Saturdays. He thought he had to start his day with a bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit from McDonalds.
