William Breckenridge Long, or Bud as called by the rest of the world and his five grandchildren, started working at an early age and eventually put himself through college and law school at the University of Alabama. He went on to become the head attorney and vice president of Drummond Company. With much success in life, he always preferred to live a modest but charitable lifestyle. His dependable gift to his family was wisdom and advice on diligence, happiness, character, life, and love. These priceless treasures will continue to help his family lead a truly richer life for generations to come.
