I bet you didn't know this about Roy Klumb

From his official biography on the IHL site:


"Mr. Klumb . . . completed a two-year program in Ornamental Horticulture at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College . . ."


Well, at least he's interested in SOME kind of culture!


By the way, the IHL site does not list the individual email addresses of board members, only the email addresses of staff members.

Are you telling this board, that Roy Klumb does not have a bachelor's degree, at all?

Would he be the only one in America?

I thought he finished up the bach at State.  Correct me if I'm wrong though.

No, he does have further education, but the thought of him arranging flowers just makes me laugh.

Dickens, incidentally, could not have invented a better name for a firm than "Klumb Lumber."  Parts of this whole affair are indeed funnier than anything a novelist could have concocted.

Flower arranging? I think he was learning how to cut grass.

This is correct. Landscaping & nursery work. It's a votech program now, but it may have been a transferable ag program when Klumb took it. Seein' as how he went to State & changed his major, that would make sense.

Sounds like a character from an Elmore Leonard or Carl Hiaasen book.

Surprised he doesn't call it "Klumber".

Think of the F***ing concept of putting a person with an advanced degree on the board! Revolutionary!

Man, Mississippi seems to be proud of being 50th. What a shame.
