Jack Stovall, Comedian

For some unidentifiable reason I thought of

this yesterday as I was driving along

and just had to share it!
 

Those of you who knew Jack at all are no doubt

wondering what in the world I could

possibly be talking about!

Serious...man of few words...maybe a tad unsmiling...

But not comedian.

Jack was on the Board of Directors of

Arlington National Bank.

The board convened monthly, but his comedic moment

occurred at a meeting 

right before Christmas one year.

Skip Leffler, bank president and dear friend of Jack's,

announced the annual Christmas party for

the bank personnel and spouses.

He asked for a count of the guys

who would be able to attend.

 One director responded,

 "I'll have to check with my wife."

Another then said,

"Well, I wear the pants in my family, so put

me down for a 'yes'."

Jack Stovall then said (in his slow drawl, I am sure):

"Well, I wear the pants in my family, too,

so put me down for a 'maybe'."

Isn't that just wonderful?

Of course, he didn't tell me about it.

One of the other directors did.


Here was the picture he had made for the
announcement of his appointment
as a director.

(With one of his bigger smiles.)
