6. IN the early 80s my parents decided that they had had enough of south FL and bought 10 acres outside of Chiefland

to build their dream home. I spent four months there as the general building their house for them. I was stunned that they had made this decision, but I figured my father knew what he was doing.

I hadn't been there any time at all when I realized that north FL is just an extension of Appalachia. The people were incredibly backward and clannish. The neighbor across the road had never been farther that 50 miles away from Chiefland. I had gone to school at UTK and was acquainted with genteel southern hospitality. There was none of that in Chiefland. Rural health was almost non-existent. For care you had to go to Gainesville. My mother's health became very problematic.

A few years later my father told me that the move was the greatest mistake of his life. I have regretted the fact that I did not sit down with him before he got too deep into it to try to talk him out of what I saw as a big mistake. I honestly doubt if Chiefland has change all that much. I could be wrong.
