Although I will state that with my dealings with the DMV in issues over the years, I made a good friend in the Dept. She said when they went over to computer records in the mid 80’s, Hosea was the ONLY PERSON in Georgia to have his kept in paper form because they didn’t want to take a chance of his violations being lost. He was a very bad driver apparently. And that’s all I’m saying... again. :)
My father retired from the Atlanta Police Dept. Hosea was a very bad and usually quite drunk driver!
Hosea was known for his multiple DUI’s and accidents. He always had a few drinks and enjoyed his “hooch”-as he called it. A cop asked him once why he hit a fire hydrant and Hosea said it was placed in the wrong place for his car to get through. He also received a Silver Star, multple Bronze Stars and Purple Hearts from his heroics in WW II. I always admired the man, but wished he didn’t have a problem with the booze, knowing full well the demons he was chasing.
