Reeses rub elbows in Lynchburg

Jim Reese (far right) and his mother, Lillian Reese (second from left), attended a retirement party in Lynchburg, Tennessee, for Jimmy Bedford (far left), master distiller for Jack Daniels for the past 20 years. Bedford is only the sixth master distiller in the company's 142- year history. Pictured with the group is Bedford's wife, Emily. Mr. Reese got to know the Bedfords when he installed antique heart pine floors in their Lynchburg home. The wood came from an old railroad depot (circa 1850) in Johnson City, Tennessee.
