I moved to Athens GA in
1976 and worked in a real job and attended UGA at night. I started canoeing and kayaking
and took a three month leave of absence from work to take a position as a whitewater raft guide on the
Nantahala River in NC and Ocoee River in TN in 1980. During the winters
I would work at ski areas in Park City UT and spend summers on the rivers. In the winter
of 1984 I went to Jackson Hole WY for the ski season and stayed for ten years. There
I met my wife Carolyn and we married in 1991. I spent most of my time in Jackson Hole
selling advertising for the local newspaper and then selling Real Estate. In 1994 we grew
tired of the 11 months of winter in WY and moved back to NC and both work for www.wildwaterrafting.com I am the
operations manager for the Nantahala River location and Carolyn
works as the Assitant Marketing Manager for the company. I am still involed in motorcycle
racing, ( I do alot of racing on 60's and 70's vintage motorcycles and race in
the "super senior" classes on modern bikes ). I feel lucky
that I have been able to turn
my hobby of whitewater sports into a career and have done the same with motorcycles by
selling parts and restored motorcycles on ebay ( member id is hotshoe14a )THANKS Larry
for a great site.

____________________________ Ben S. Blanton Picture benblanton@mchsi.com
Married my childhood sweetheart
4-2-1976, have two boys Ben born 1980 & Carly born 1982, Worked as industrial
mechanic and millwright, schooled in air cooled engine repair, in 1988 started in the
environmental field installing and maintaining remediation equipment. Started making BBQ sauce & seasonings in
1997 until 2000 until I was found to have prostate cancer. I shut
business down, went through treatment, the Lord provided healing and my life, and I have
been inspired to live each day to the fullest. I have since re-opened
the business in 2007 and
produce that now famous Mop & Sop BBQ Sauce, Dry Rub, Seasoning and Pepper Sauces.
I have all but retired from the environmental field and have devoted my days looking
for markets and embracing the next challenge. Since my healing I have found the opportunity to serve the Lord
without fear and look for ways of sharing the hope that I have with those who are looking for
truth. I have seen things that few kings have seen, I have experienced
riches in life that cannot be bought and I have looked beyond the river and saw
the promise. Since graduation I have learned that there is always more to life than an easy ride; but with the
greater challenge, greater will be the reward.

times we do get bored, but overall we are enjoying
our semi retirement. I received
my BA from the University of the State
of New York with a major in psychology and a minor in economics. I earned my Gemologist Diploma from the Gemological
Institute of America. I am a certified water

Since high school, I married
in 1978 to Greg Eldridge of Irwinville, GA(above Tifton). We were married 11 years and
had two children Erin Nicole(1982) and Reuben Parker(1983). We had a business starting
in 1981 selling home satellite dish systems(the big 10ft kind) and soon became a distributor
for south georgia and north florida. If you bought a large dish between 1982 and 1988,
it orginally came from us. We
divorced in 1989 and the business ended. 1991 I and my children moved back to Valdosta,
I attended VSU from 1992 to 1996 majoring in
nursing, but decided it wasn't for me.
I now work for Mediacom cable (5 years now).
My daughter Erin(graduate of year 2000) has her associate degree
from GA military and is
continuing on at VSU. My son
decided high school was too slow and left mid year 11th
grade to attend VOTECH majoring in Mechanics.
He graduated Sept 2003. He married in
July 2002 to Kayla Shealy and they gave me a beautiful granddaughter on Sept 27
2002. I feel very blessed in
my life and am happy.
