Ross Allen played an important part in my life in 1966. On December 7th, 1966 I was bitten by a copperhead. We lived about 8 miles south of Birmingham Alabama. I went to a doctor's office in nearby Vestavia Hills. The doctor, Earnest Campbell had vacationed in central Florida and visited Ross Allen's Snake Farm. Since Dr. Campbell was a doctor Ross Allen had given him anti-venom to take home for his office.
The ferry I ride on every day from bay shore new york to fire island was built in Freeport and road alway around the east coast to new york. I graduated from Freeport In 2011 it’s such a small world. The captain recognized my ajs tee shirt I was wearing.
