But I stayed in Athens and then went into business, and this is a wonderful town. There were only 5,000 students when I graduated. I like to give back to the town that gave to me. Of course I still love flowers and the business, but this art world is just unreal to me. Mr. Dodd helped me start the collection, but it has done so much for me.
Art opens doors as nothing else can.
I got invited to the UGA President's Ball. Not only that, but when the university has special guests, they use my house to entertain them. My house is their first choice for people to see the art. It's the ultimate in entertainment. And I get so enthusiastic when I talk about it.
