Since we are playing the Wake Forest Deacons this weekend I thought it appropriate to revive this story from bygone days. In 1949 I was living in Lelamd, MS, and subscribed to the Memphis Commercial-Appeal. D. Canale was a company in Memphis that was a wholesale distributer of foods and other items to mostly independent grocery stores. A story in the newspaper reported ne of his clients sent D. Canale a check in a letter addressed to Deacon Alley and was delivered with no problem.
