Growing up Grifton: A Collection of Stories About a Man and His Town - Paperback

George G. Sugg George Gardner Sugg was born and raised in the small town of Grifton. His parents were George C. and Joyce Gardner Sugg. He grew up just as the town was reaching her peak. He paid attention to the people and how the place came into its own. He wanted to be a part of it and became one of the town's prominent business men. He married Edna and they raised their daughter, Nancy, in Grifton. They moved to Belhaven more than thirty years ago. He never lost the passion for the place and people of his roots. It was his desire to pen his knowledge so the facts and fun of small town living would be remembered. Sometimes he longs to return. It is the love for his nearby grandson and his great grandson that give him pause. This book is a record that keeps it alive for himself as well as others.
