My Story Early in the morning, twenty four years ago on the twelvth day in the month of July, a baby son was born at St. Marys hospital in Athens, Georgia. The Pollock household of three had grown by one. Jennifer, the rising boys three year old sister, had already named him. The new boy was to be called Jody Lamon Pollock.

My mother, Nancy, was the missy of a farmer and a seamstress. She was the oldest of four girls. My father, Howard, was also the son of a farmer and a house wife. My pa was the ninth of eleven children. Mom and dad were high school sweethearts through out their high school days. They got married August 15, 1971. They will be celebrating their 30th wedding anniversary this next month. My father started working for the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) when he graduated high school. My father nor my mother attended college. The USDA moved my parents all around the order for the next couple of years until they finally ended up in Jefferson, GA where they have been ever since. My mom landed a job as a secretary at the First National Bank of Jackson County when they first moved here.
