G: ...he said, "I guess, about fifteen years." But that is the type of woods mind and memory

 that that man had. He could take you back anywhere where he had once been. I think, he is

 a person in the history of archeology in the state that we generally forget, but should not

 be forgotten. A little later, I took the state truck and drove along the coast toward

 Pensacola checking out Willy's sites and Moore's sites and really just kind of visiting

 them. It was hot, July. I remember stopping at one cracker house along the way and talking

 to the fellow sitting on the porch and asking him if he knew about an Indian mound that

 was near, supposed to be nearby. He said, "Yeah. It's down the road about a quarter."

 And said, "You know, when I was a boy, ah, some fellows from the Smithsonian came and dug

 in that one. It is always the Smithsonian that comes and digs.in these places, as you know."

 (Laughter) Well, I pursued it a little bit further and said, "Yeah, he came in a steamboat,

 named the Gopher." So, here was my first contact with someone who had actually seen C.B.

 Moore in the field. He did not have much else to tell me, but ah there was that, there

 was that contact made. Later on, one afternoon, I arrived in Fort Walton and the first

 thing I saw was a beer sign and after, a long hot day, I immediately parked and finished

 my first bottle and then I feeling a little relaxed, I started to talk' to the bartender.

 I told him I had heard that there was a big Indian mound in Fort Walton and did he know

 where it was? He looked at me almost with a looked jaws, as if I were a-little bit crazy

 and he pointed to the window right behind his head and there it was. Looming right outside

 the window. Did the mike go off? Yep, there must be a loose plug somewhere, one second.

Unknown gentleman: I think you are right here, John. No, its right here on the microphone.

Unknown gentleman: We got it again.

G: Have we got it again?

Unknown Gentleman: Yeah.
