John Sutherland is a native son of Florence at the Shoals, Alabama where he lives with his wife and four dogs: Tinker Belle, a fourteen year old tea cup chihuahua ( now more like a tea pot chihuahua); LuLu, a ten year old beagle fox hound mix( or as my wife prefers, a long legged beagle); Sam (Samantha), a six year old wire hair terrier and Happy, a three year old Lab. We also have three children and nine grandchildren aged from two years old to twenty to help keep us young. We also have moles, chipmunks, squirrels and birds to add color and excitement to our back yard. In addition to playing in the dirt I enjoy fishing, thinking original thoughts and building scale models of the Great Pyramid.
