Foy Blue King was named after the country doctor that delivered him. He grew up on a farm and had to work hard as a child. Even though Foy didn't want to go to school his mother made him and he is thankful for that now. Today, Foy is 90 years old and has been completely blind for the past four years due to glaucoma. He is retired from the mill and lives in Opp, Alabama with his wife and their son Rex.
