Synopsis/Details
In the late 40s or early 50s a notorious speed trap operated in the small pulpwood town of Ludowici in rural South Georgia. This operation was so egregious the then governor of the state posted signs on the outskirts of town warning motorists. And so it came to pass, my grandmother was pulled over for speeding in Ludowici... As a child, I enjoyed hearing stories about my waggish and clever Cracker grandmother - An unassuming and plain spoken woman with a 3rd grade education who was a force of nature and a great influence in my life. Speed Trap in Ludowici is one of the stories I heard as a child.

The Writer: John Hunter

My barefoot childhood was spent in the coastal lowcountry of South Georgia. In this semirural version of Camelot, storytelling was an innocent pastime enjoyed by members of my family and those around me. So, it seems fair to say, my storytelling is most likely a product of both nature and nuture. After graduation from college, I served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Latin America. I later worked in construction management, big ticket sales, commercial graphics, and as a packaging design consultant. I now live in Central Florida and enjoy telling a wide variety of slightly dark and quirky stories with a dash of humor.
