This is my favorite custom thus far, Harold Peeples, captain of the 1941 Ole Miss Rebels Basketball team. Mr.Peeples was my next door neighbor growing up. He was like a grandfather to me and taught me to play basketball. He shot free throws underhanded and all other shots he took off of his right shoulder. He was a huge Boston Celtics fan and I watched so many games during the 80's in his living room. I rode with him to church every Sunday, a five minute trip, but we would make it there 30 minutes before anyone else would get there. My favorite memory of him though is that he would lead the prayer in church often, and he would pray in King James english.
