Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, is from Robertsdale. We used to call people from Robertsdale ‘potato pickers.’
This is the same area that produced Ken Stabler.
Actually Kenny was from Foley, AL, a little further south. I was playing on the B team at Foley when he was a senior at Foley High. Plus my mother, a school teacher there, tutored him at his home after school.
The distance from Robertsdale to Foley is 11 miles....that distance qualifies as 'area' in my book.
My HS (Theodore) played against Kenny when he was at Foley HS in the 60's.
