This is Pam, and I have something to say. Not everyone is going to want to hear this. I just got back in town from a week of helping Poncho to find out from Facebook that I apparently am nothing more than a moonshiners wife. I am a whole lot more than that. I am devoted to my family. I took care of my father till he passed in my house. I am fiercely loyal to my children, sisters and many nieces and nephews. I will always be faithful and loyal to my husband whether he is living or not. How many people can truly say besides JB and Bill that Popcorn himself actually taught them how to make? I didn't know how until he taught me. I'm not saying that there isn't people out there today producing amazing products. What I am saying is never say I am just the wife of a shiner. My first run of watermelon wasn't made in a distillery. It was in my front yard. The product that Flaming Aces Distillery LLC produced for me was quality tested by me and it is wonderful. Tracy Bumgarner does an amazing job. He can do it on a much larger scale than I could. I am grateful for his partnership. With that being said, I finally found my balls. I finally realized that I have a voice and deserve to be heard. I have been told that I wasn't wanted. They only wanted my husband. Guess what? Without me, you don't get him. I have supported myself my whole life before moonshine and supported me and Popcorn while he was on house arrest. I know how to put in a hard days work and then some. I can deal with a raving lunatic because I have for 17 years. What I can't handle is people who supposedly are my friends, writing bad things about me on my page. I think its a guilty conscience. Thank the good Lord that I can sleep at night. I love you all whether you love me or not. I think people are worried just what all will be in the book. I will say it again.....I'm leaving nothing out. It's about time I took the bull by the horn.
