Bill Gray is an educator, real estate guru, auctioneer and much more. The Gray family has been in the auction and real estate business since 1950. Bill has been licensed in the business since 1979 and has carried on the values and skills he learned from his father ever since. Aside from his professional work, Bill has also become a collector of unique artifacts, including items that once belonged to famed lawman Buford Pusser. Bill retired from teaching after 43 1/2 years at South Fulton Middle and High School, but he remains active in the real estate and auction world.

In this episode, Bill shares more about the history of the Twin Cities community and the annual Twin Cities Banana Festival, which celebrates the cities’ railroad heritage and the historical role they played in transporting bananas north from New Orleans. We also take a trip to the Twin City Railroad Museum to visit Darren Doss and learn more about the museum’s preservation efforts and the importance of the railroad to the community.
