79'Steadman Shealy was 1 tough/fast caucasian.

My dad has a story that kinda involves him.

Steadman Shealy was getting married in Heflin, AL sometime before Bryant retired/passed away and flew into Anniston to attend it. My dad was working for a local airline at that airport at the time and went out onto the tarmac to meet him. Dad brought a friend along in toe.

My dad walked up to Bryant, introduced himself, and asked him what brought him to Anniston. Bryant said that Steadman Shealy was getting married and he was going to be in attendance. My dad's friend then asked Bryant who Steadman Shealy was. Bryant eyed him suspiciously, kinda gave him the once over, before asking: "Where you from, son?"

"Ohio." My dad's friend replied.

"Oh." Bryant replied. And then he walked away.

I don't know why but I always thought that was a funny story the way Bryant reacted to his answer.
