After reading the story on Razz Miller I wanted to tell you of an incident I had with him.  Razz and my Daddy (George C. Park) were close friends.  Razz loved to hunt and raised rabbit beagles, he loved those dogs.  Daddy and Razz would go hunting quite often and one day when I was very young they took me with them to some place in Mt. Ulla to hunt.

So I had my first shotgun, a 410 gauge single barrel.  Being young and not familiar with the "hunting talk" I was shocked when I would hear Razz say, "go gettum' bitch" or "did you see that bitch jump that rabbit", etc.  I was not aware that a female dog was called a bitch and didn't understand why preacher Razz was talking like that.
Later in the day I asked Daddy about it and he straightened me out.  Razz was a very likable man and fun to be around.  And Hollis had many of his daddy's traits.  Razz was pastor of St. Peters Lutheran Church at that time where he retired.
