Keep On Truckin’
or
FedEx Freight Wet
The founder of American Freightways, F. Sheridan Garrison, has made his final delivery. He was found dead at a pond in Arkansas on Tuesday, at the age of 69, apparently a victim of his fishing boat capsizing. Garrison suffered from Parkinson’s disease. He founded the billion-dollar company only 20 years ago as a regional start-up. FedEx purchased the company and its 16,000 employees in 2000 for $1.2 billion, naming it FedEx Freight East. Evidently, this put the Garrison family in the Top 10 of Arkansas Business’ list of Wealthiest Arkansans in July 2000. Feel free to put your own Ozark-based joke here.
