Willie
Willie was born in Union Springs, AL 70 years ago. He was from a large family of 12 or 13; some of his brothers were killed in World War II. He left Alabama at 19 for New Jersey where he laid brick for about 50 years, and only just returned home 7 years ago once he retired. Now he lives on a pension that supports his life and happens to recreationally enjoy moonshine, but for most in Union Springs, times are dire, and for them moonshine is a lifestyle.
