Just got off the phone with the Archibald Smith Plantation -- they only have a small patch of cotton that has been around since 1982. So, if this guy took a field trip there, he may have "picked cotton" before getting back on the bus to go back to school.
Tell the truth; it doesn't make the story more interesting (or authentic, for that matter.)
Get better people to handle bios.
I caught that the moment I read his bio. Isn't that hysterical??
There are NO working farms in Roswell Georgia, for it's a very overbuilt, extremely over populated suburb about twenty minutes north of downtown Atlanta.
Sorry folks, there are no Plantation left except like the Smith Plantation which is simply a museum.
It's not a big deal, other than it plays on a stereotype of Atlanta and more importantly, one lie usally means there's another.
