Mule Skinners

What do you think of when you think of a mule? Do you see a stubborn, cantankerous beast? Well, if you really knew the mules, you might have a different opinion. At least that's what the members of the Middle Tennessee Muleskinners Association believe. Rob Wilds recently visited the group to find out what they see in their friends that the rest of us might have missed.

Rob Wilds has been a part of the Tennessee Crossroads family since 1993. As one of our most frequent producers, and the recipient of several journalism awards throughout his various careers, Rob finds that the best reward for his work is meeting the fascinating people and visiting the interesting places he encounters in his travels. A presence in television, radio and print reporter for more than 20 years, Rob is a teacher, writer, producer and director as well as an actor (with appearances in feature films, television shows and on stage).
