Our final stop's in Clay County near Celina. That's where we meet a fellow who just doesn't know when to quit. What began as a way to kill time has developed into a fine art. Ken Wilshire headed that way but almost missed the man's sign. We'll let him explain.

Ken Wilshire joined the Tennessee Crossroads in 2008 with a desire to tell stories about people who have found their passions in life and who would otherwise go unrecognized for their contributions to their community. Ken began his career at WREG-TV in Memphis, writing, producing and editing news stories, features and documentaries. After leaving Channel 3 he joined Fed Ex in their communications department as a writer/producer and was promoted to the department manager. Ken spent almost 25 years in operations management at FedEx and other Fortune 500 companies.
