THE ASCA HALL OF FAME

 


Don Easterling

The automobile license plates in Arkansas say, "The Land of Opportunity." This means you get out while you have the opportunity or you'll starve.

DON EASTERLING got out before he starved. He grew up about 400 feet south of the Resume Speed sign in southeast Arkansas and brings humorous stories from there to share with you. Some of the stories are true and some could be true.
