S THE FIRST CHAIRMAN of an event that had never

taken place before in the city nor the state, Renda

McGowan knew she had her work cut out for her.

But with the help of a group of dedicated women who formed Renda’s

committee, Mistletoe Marketplace was a huge success that first year, and 31

years later has become the major fund-raiser for the Junior League of

Jackson.

Today the event runs like a well-oiled machine. During the first weekend

in November, Jackson becomes the premier shopping destination for thou-

sands of shoppers throughout the Southeast.

However, this was not the case the first year, according to McGowan. "We

had nothing to go by and had to literally create everything - including the

name, logo, theme, merchant list, schedule - everything," McGowan said.

McGowan was asked to serve as the chairman of the community fund-rais-

ing event that would take place for

that year by the incoming president

of the junior league. "Even though

many ideas were presented at our

usual December meeting for a vote

by the membership, it was assumed

that the membership would vote to

have another Bargain Barn Sale,"

McGowan said. "I had previously

been a department chairman at two

Bargain Barn events." Bargain Barn

was similar to a large garage sale the

league sponsored. It has grown into

the Bargain Boutique, a second-

hand shop.

The Christmas holiday shopping

event was being held in a few cities

across the United States. "If I remember correctly the first one was held by

the Pi Beta Phi social sorority in Nashville and was copied by leagues in

Evansville and Indianapolis.There was also a huge one in Austin," she said.

The membership voted to do this shopping event and the committee includ-

ed Sandra Maris, Suzan Thames, Sharon Rhoden, Margaret Tohill, Elizabeth

Cossar and Kent Peters. According to McGowan, Tohill, who was in charge

of publicity, kept envisioning a ball of Mistletoe as the logo. "None of us

knew anything," McGowan said. "We had a pseudo sketch logo that Sandra

Maris' husband designed and the name was created by the committee."

IN AUGUST, the membership gave the committee the final go-ahead for

the event to take place two months later.With a budget of $20,000, the com-

mittee went to work. Surprisingly, almost all local merchants were totally

against Mistletoe Marketplace because they felt it was in competition with

their businesses, McGowan said. "We could not convince them that this

event would encourage shopping in Jackson," she said. "One locally owned

store owner was rude during a meeting asking for his support and cut the

meeting short with wording to the effect that if we proceeded with this event

their future involvement in league events might be questioned." But thanks

to 33 vendors, Mistletoe Marketplace was established.

"Without the risky commitment of eight area merchants we might not

have been able to complete our ven-

dor goal and therefore without them

there might not have been a

Mistletoe Marketplace," McGowan

said. "For their commitment, I per-

sonally will be forever grateful."

Today, the setup for Mistletoe is

done by professionals, the food is

catered and decorations are paid for.

That was definitely not the case back

during the first year because they

didn't have the financial resources.

"We the members did it all from

scratch and we cooked all of the

food," McGowan said. "We made all

of our decorations from carpet rolls,

wrapped packages, and we even had

a sewing committee who made the red and white awnings that are still used

today." Donated trees were used for decorations and the committee had to

make tree stands.

"Because we were not supposed to be in the Trade Mart until Monday, we

tried to get an early start on Sunday," she said. "I drove a motor home there

so we could use the generator to cut trees with chain saws and make tree

stands."

Although they did get caught, the head of the

Trade Mart did not get too angry and let the ladies

continue to work outside, according to McGowan.

"We also used plenty of cedar greenery to deco-

rate," she said. "We did not know you could be

allergic to cedar and no one used gloves. By the

end of the day several workers had rashes and

itched terribly."

MCGOWAN REMEMBERS working so hard

to have this event the first year because she really

believed in the junior league. "With the accom-

plishments that had been done by the junior

league in previous projects, I had no doubt that if

we could just get started, we could really have

something to build upon each year and it would

mean a tremendous success for our projects," she

said. "Yes I believed we could be successful, but

could anyone believe the type of money this event

has raised each year? No, because I don't think we

could think in those terms."

In those days, the majority of league members

did not work outside the home, according to

McGowan. "Therefore volunteering in league

projects provided an avenue to showcase their

many talents and professional skills. Not only was

it a goal for league projects to better the commu-

nity but it also provided a sense of personal satis-

faction to the majority of league members."

McGowan remembers people lined up outside

for the opening of the first day. And by noon they

had almost run out of what they had cooked for

lunch and had to begin to serve just homemade

cakes. "That night several on the lunch committee

had to go back and make hundreds of box lunch-

es for the next day," she said. "They worked until

early morning of the next day to finish. Like I said,

the ladies of the junior league at that time could

get anything done when they had a goal."

McGowan describes herself as an ultimate con-

sonant fund-raiser. "And I really have a true belief

people give and they will give more if they are

enjoying themselves."

That first Mistletoe was wonderful, according to

McGowan. "Every league member should take a

sense of pride that they created something so

fresh, new and exciting and now look at it. It's a

phenomenon."

MCGOWAN,WHO originally was born in New

Orleans, moved to Jackson when she was 15

months old. She lived all her life in Jackson and

was educated in the Catholic lower schools and

was graduated from Murrah High School. She

received her degree from Louisiana State

University and married and lived in New Orleans

where her husband completed Tulane Law

School. She moved to Jackson after a brief stay in

Virginia. In Jackson she was involved in activities

such as Children’s Community Theatre, Middle

Mississippi Girl Scouts, Young Lawyers Wives

Association, and JLTA Tennis. She was asked to

join the junior league in 1976 at age 26. She co-

chaired departments at two Bargain Barns, she

chaired the playground project at Crippled

Children’s Hospital building which was a barrier

free playground, she co-chaired the provisional

committee, and served on the committee for mar-

keting the cookbook “Southern Sideboards.” She

volunteered 15 years in the league.

Today, McGowan is the executive director of the

Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Mississippi Chapter

and has been in this position for more than 19

years. Prior to that for three years, she was the

executive director of the Leukemia Society in

Mississippi. She also is a Doncaster Clothing

Representative and has been for more than 10

years.

McGowan has three children and three grand-

children. They include Tracy McGowan Stewart,

who is a nurse at University of Mississippi Medical

Center in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and a

current member of the Junior League of Jackson.

Tracy has one daughter, Margaret O'Neil Stewart,

who is a sixth-grader at Jackson Academy.

McGowan's daughter, Shannon McGowan Breier,

lives with her husband, Eric, in Atlanta. She is an

artist and taught high school art in Atlanta for

eight years and now is home with their daughter,

Emma, age six, and son, Charlie, age two. She was

accepted into membership to Junior League and

transferred to Atlanta. David McGowan Jr. lives in

Atlanta where he owns his own computer compa-

ny and is a computer engineer.

FOR MORE THAN 23 years, McGowan has

been involved with fund-raising as a professional

and previously volunteered in many civic events as

an individual. She chaired the Halloween

Carnival at JA, chaired the Revolutionary Fair at

Jackson Prep, chaired the Tennis Classic for Cystic

Fibrosis, and chaired the first tennis tournament

for Jackson Prep and Easter Seals Telethon.

She has served on the boards of the junior

league, Inter-City Advisory Council, Middle

Missisippi Girl Scouts of America, Children's

Community Theatre, Jackson Ladies Tennis

Association, Metro-Jackson Crime Commission,

and Leadership Jackson Alumni Association.

Currently she serves as a commissioner on the

Mississippi Motor Vehicle Board as an appoint-

ment by Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann.

She also is a member of River Hills Tennis Club

where she has played on a JLTA Tennis Team

since 1983 and is a member of St. Richard's

Catholic Church.

Tyler Armstrong, who serves on the committee

of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, says McGowan

is an amazing woman and an unbelievable volun-

teer. "She is what every volunteer should strive to

be. When Renda says she is going to do some-

thing, she gets it done," said Armstrong. "She is

truly an unbelievable person who knows what she

is doing and is a wonderful woman. She is some-

one we can all learn from."

McGowan ponders the pros of that first

Mistletoe. "They had nothing to compare with - so

whatever we did would be good," she said. "It was

exciting and we could make all of the first deci-

sions. We created the name, logos, schedule,

themes - all are still used today. So I guess we were

really good at what we did and created."

Today she can't be as involved in Mistletoe

because of work demands, but she volunteers at

times in the information booth. "It was fun to see

so many former members who I had not seen in

some time," she said. "I just enjoy the excitement

and energy that goes with being a part of such a

fantastic event. I usually attend the preview party

each year, which grows and grows and grows."

“And I really havea true belief peoplegive and they willgive more if they areenjoying themselves.”

B Y G L E N D A W A D S W O R T H A T A CITYWIDE evan-

gelistic/unity event

organized by the

Christian Businessmen's

Committee, some 25,000

men and women of different races and church

affiliations filled a stadium to hear Pat Morley

and Tom Skinner issue a call for Christians to

solve the racial issues which separate the people

in this state. Lee Paris was there and says he came

away with a heavy heart. "I thought there is no

way we could solve 400 years of racial problems.

I knew it would take at least a 20-year commit-

ment on the part of all of us."

Lee could not get the call out of his mind. He

distinctly felt he was being pursued by God to

undertake such a venture. "I argued with the

Lord. I told him I didn't have the appropriate

background to handle this mission." He shakes

his head. "I did not feel I could do it. But the

Lord said, 'Lee be quiet and do what I say.'"

Originally his efforts to be true to his calling met

with misunderstanding from many people, "but

I was absolutely confident that I was doing what

God wanted." Thus was born Mission

Mississippi 18 years ago, and Lee has been

involved with it since.

Mission Mississippi calls itself a ministry of

reconciliation which seeks to encourage and

demonstrate unity in the body of Christ across

racial and denominational lines so that commu-

nities throughout Mississippi can better under-

stand the gospel message. It is now active in

more than 20 cities in Mississippi.

Lee explains, "Mission Mississippi is a place for

people to meet and pray and build relationships,

to see we have more in common with believers

than with those who are not.We are not denom-

inational. We come together in the body of

Christ to pray, support and encourage, then go

into the world."

Thomas Jenkins met Paris around 1993. A

mutual friend in Mission Mississippi introduced

them, and they met for lunch shortly thereafter.

"I was pretty skeptical that we could or would

become friends, but, in fact, we became very

close friends on every level -- social, religious

and philosophical. We have shared problems, challenges

and victories.We can be totally honest with each other on

any subject. Lee is a genuine person who knows no color

barrier."

THIS FEELING OF COMFORT working among

diverse people of God comes naturally to Lee. His mother

is a devout Christian, his father a devout Jew. "The Lord was

worshiped and honored in our home.That was instilled in me

from an early age," he says. Because his father was a banker and

entrepreneur, Lee grew up more or less assuming he too would go

into business. Once in college, he briefly considered entering the

ministry, but determined that was not his calling. "I was to be a

minister in the marketplace. I saw I could use business as a

platform for my convictions. In the business environment I get

to go places and meet people that most clergy could not. God

wants different people to do different things."

Paris was graduated from Ole Miss with a business degree

and a law degree. Paris met his future wife, Lisa Redditt of

Greenwood, at the Delta Gamma house, in the same room

where his parents married. The Parises are avid Rebel fans.

"Ole Miss is a big part of our family," says Lee, who recent-

ly taught a class on the anatomy of a real estate deal at the

law school. "Our family is spread out from daughter

Vivian in D.C. where she is now a Senate page, to son

Henry in Memphis working as an investment counselor, to

daughter Rachel Marie, who is in Nashville working on a

master's degree in counseling. But we come together in

Oxford."

Today Lee serves as managing partner of Meadowbrook

Capital. Business partner Dan Hall met Lee in 1993 through

Mission Mississippi. "Lee has a strong work ethic without being

obsessive about it. He creates a positive atmosphere. If he has a

bad day, we would never know it. He makes sure

every one is okay."

Paris' accomplishments are numerous. In 2009,

Lee began his second three-year term as a mem-

ber of the district committee for Financial

Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and has

served on the FINRA district nominating com-

mittee. He has also been director of Planters

Bank and Trust Company and the Mississippi

Business Finance Corporation. He is a member

of the Mississippi Bar Association.

Lee is a deacon of the First Presbyterian

Church of Jackson. He is chairman of the

National Center for Fathering, the Mississippi

Charitable Foundation and the I CAN

Foundation U.S. He is director of the Children's

Scholarship Fund of Jackson and was a director

of the University of Mississippi Alumni

Association. He has served as chairman of

Mission Mississippi and as a director of the

Rotary Club of Jackson, the University of

Mississippi Foundation and Patrick Morley

Ministries and mostly recently as president of

River Hills Club, where he is an avid tennis play-

er. He has served as state chairman of the Young

Presidents' Organization (YPO) and is chairman

of YPO's Christian Fellowship Network.

OF THAT LENGTHY LIST, Lee is probably

most impassioned about his work with the

National Center for Fathering. He sees the

numerous children in this community who have

no strong father figure. "I believe that the good

influence of a father is extremely important in a

child's development." To that end, Lee affiliated

himself with the National Center for Fathering,

which reaches more than one million fathers

annually through seminars, small-group training

and other specific programs to create a culture of

"championship fathering."

His children are Lee's greatest witnesses to his

personal example of strong belief in the impor-

tance of faith in God and fatherly influence. Son

Henry, 24, says, "I cannot remember a time in my

life when I have counted on my father to do

something and it did not happen. He is 100 per-

cent dependable and always there for me. All of

his decisions in life are deliberate and based on

“All of his decisions in life are

his Christian values. Over any trials in life, no

matter how large or small, he asks God for guid-

ance, and that is the direction that he tries to take.

That's what makes him so accountable."

Seventeen-year-old Vivian recalls, "Some of my

fondest memories with Dad are Sunday afternoon

walks around the neighborhood.We walk and real-

ly talk. My Dad influenced me in countless ways! To

start and end he has shown me how to love and for-

give even when it's really hard. He has taught me

life skills that will always remain with me."

RACHEL MARIE, 28, writes, "My father

instilled in me: love and loyalty for family, a love

for the Ole Miss Rebels, respect for my Southern

heritage, a desire to see and hope for the good in

people, and he taught me how to find the silver

lining to a rainy day. Dad has also shown me what

it looks like to be genuine. I have an enormous

amount of admiration and respect for my father."

She recounts incidents of his loving sense of

humor. "When we were little and we would get

upset, Dad would make us laugh by pretending to

be a three-year-old boy named Junior who acted

like Dennis the Menace. Once I told Dad that I

loved him all the way to the moon.The expression

stuck until eventually we skipped the 'I love you'

and would just say, '2damoon.' "

Paris was instrumental in initiating the National

Center for Fathering chapter in Africa. He has

been on three mission trips to South America and

five mission trips to Africa. Rachel Marie relates,

"He is genuine in his love for the Lord. When I

was younger, it was hard to see that my father's

relationship with God was different from just

what was at church, but as I grew spirituality he

became a model for what it is like to have a per-

sonal walk with God. He showed me that being a

Christian means to follow Christ instead of trying

to charm everyone in Jackson, Mississippi.

Mission Mississippi is a great example of what it

was like to see my dad obedient to God's plan and

be part of building a difficult bridge."

Victor Smith, with Paris, was a charter member

of Mission Mississippi. "Lee has great love for

God. He is committed to being a disciple to others

and has a gift for leadership." Hall notes that Paris

gives himself freely to all manner of people. "Lee

is the same person, whether he is dealing with

work, church or business. He lives his faith and is

an open door to friends and families, a real gen-

tleman."Lisa, Lee, David and Mamikie Molapo in South Africa

TENNIS ADVANTAGE

Even though it doesn’t feel like fall just yet,the calendar says it is on the way. After asizzling hot summer, join me in a big wel-come to some cooler weather. As hot asit’s been, tennis hasn’t slowed down onebit.

Adults and juniors have been seen all over theNorthside playing tennis. The first tri-level statechampionship was recently held in Jackson with playat Ridgeland Tennis Center. Tri-level tennis has beenon the rise across the entire Southern Section andMississippi has enjoyed playing this format. What istri-level, you might ask. Three consecutive levels ofplay are all included on one team, with each levelplayer competing againstthe same level player.More than 300 playersfrom across the state par-ticipated in the three-daychampionship with fivechampionship teamscrowned on Sunday.These teams will travel toMemphis and join theteams from four otherstates to play in a region-al tri-level championship. Even though there were nowinners from the Northside, many local teams par-ticipated in the tournament.

Following that championship, winning teams fromlocal USTA League Senior Mixed Doubles traveledto Tupelo to play in the state championships. “This isalways a fun tournament to work. The players lovetennis and enjoy being together,” reports LindseySartain, director of adult programs for USTAMississippi. “Tupelo and Pontotoc rolled out the redcarpet for us and we all really appreciate it,” contin-ues Sartain. Muriel Greer’s 7.0 team and CarolynGalloway’s 8.0 team emerged victorious at the end ofthe weekend. They will travel to Macon, Ga. thismonth for the Southern Sectionals. Congratulationsto all mixed doubles teams that played.

Georgia Spencer isn’t afraid of the heat. She hasclose to 60 ladies that she organizes each week dur-ing the summer for a morning of tennis fun. “Wehave been doing this for three summers now, and it’sgreat. Everyone gets a number, we rotate courts andjust have a fun morning of some really good tennis,”says Spencer. These dedicated ladies play atRidgeland Tennis Center. Cissy Jackson recentlyinvited all the ladies to her home for a tennis lunch-eon, out of the heat for a change. Not all the ladies

were able to come, but those that did had as muchfun off the courts as they do on the courts.

Update on Carrie Starks and her 3.0 USTA LeagueAdult team that’s heading to Tucson, October 21-23.Captain Carrie reports in on some of the things theyhave been doing to raise money for their trip. “Wehad a benefit doubles tournament at RidgelandTennis Center in September and will have a pancakebreakfast at Applebee’s on Lake Harbor Drive,October 8. “We are so grateful to all that have sup-ported us on our road to nationals, please join us atApplebee’s and continue to help us out,” says Starks.

Our junior players have been busy as well. Some ofour former junior players that are now playing col-

lege tennis, Will Freeman, Jennifer Holland, KrisRoberts, Ross Peets, Marco and Robbie Aru, andPhillip Johnson, checked in over the summer to letus know how their college days were going.

Will Freeman is entering his senior year atBirmingham Southern College in Birmingham. Hehas been a vital part of the BSC tennis team for threeyears as a solid contributor to their 34-14 record.Will is a 2008 graduate of Jackson PreparatorySchool and a former River Hills Ace Academy playerunder Dave Randall. He is an economics major grad-uating in May 2012 and the son of Betty Lynn andRod Freeman.

Ross Peets will begin his SMU tennis career thisyear. He was red-shirted his freshman year, but plansto hit the courts hard for his team. His SMU tenniscoach told him to enjoy his freshman year, becausehe would be focusing on tennis for the remainder ofhis time at SMU. He took advantage of that opportu-nity and joined a fraternity, where he is an activemember of Kappa Alpha. Ross lived and worked inDallas over the summer and served as an assistant toCoach Neufeld. He is looking forward to represent-ing both SMU and Mississippi on the tennis courtthis year. Ross is the son of Jackie and Randy Peets.

Jennifer Holland has finished her tennis college

career at Holmes Community College. Well, notexactly, she will be the team manager for the 2012season as she finishes her classes at Holmes. Whileat Holmes, Jennifer was the number one singles anddoubles player for the team. She received the team’sMost Valuable Player award both years she was play-ing. After completing Holmes, she plans to enroll inthe two-year dental hygiene program at UMC. Inaddition to school, Jennifer works part time atEveryday Gourmet.

How cool would it be to be on the college tennisteam with your brother. Well, the Aru boys, Robbieand Marco, from the Northside have done that at

Furman. Robbie is enteringhis junior year at FurmanUniversity where he is abio-chemistry major, withhopes of becoming a sur-geon one day. “Going toFurman has been an awe-some but challengingexperience. Academics andtennis dominate my life,but it has been well worthit. It has been outstanding

to have my brother here on the team too.” Duringthe spring 2011 season, Robbie played singles in thenumber four, number five, and number six positionsthroughout the season. For him, the highlight of lastseason was defeating Florida State’s number fiveplayer who finished the season ranked and playingnumber two for them. “I hope to contribute more toour team than I did last year. My goal for this year isto go back to the NCAAs.” Marco is returning toFurman for his sophomore year. Last season, Marcoplayed in the number two and number three spot indoubles. With English in mind as his major, tennisand academics take up most of his time, but he didjoin the Kappa Alpha Order and has enjoyed allaspects of college life. He finished his first year withan overall 3.5 GPA which speaks volumes as Furmanjust got named number two Most Rigorous Schoolin the nation by Newsweek. Robbie and Marco arethe sons of Giorgio and Jan Aru.

Phillip Johnson, son of Mimi and Brian Johnson,returns to Rhodes College as a sophomore. Johnsonis majoring in physics and is a member of theRhodes tennis team.

Rick Virden could be considered by some to be a renaissanceman. A native of Jackson, Virden lived in Alaska while workingas banker, sold produce and plants at the local farmers marketon Woodrow Wilson Boulevard, and has now found his nichetraveling the country as a rare coin dealer. For years, paintingpumpkins has been something he does for fun, not compensa-

tion. According to Rick, “There is not enough money in the world to paint anAuburn elephant and I really only paint when I feel inspired.”

Last year, Rick stopped by The Everyday Gourmet with one of his paintedpumpkins and I mentioned that I would love to have a Thing 1 and Thing 2 for

my twins for Halloween. The very next day, Thing 1 and Thing 2 showed up,and I can tell you Dr. Seuss would have been proud. They were almost as cuteas my little pumpkins! I am not one of those people that posts every grocerystore trip or minute-by-minute detail of my life on Facebook, but on this par-ticular occasion I was so excited that I posted a picture of Rick’s creations onmy Facebook page.

When I sat down to talk with Rick about his pumpkin painting, he had awealth of knowledge about the numerous varieties of the pumpkin family, theprocess of growing pumpkins and selecting the perfect pumpkin. For those ofyou interested in some of the key points about pumpkins, here’s what I gath-ered. The best time to plant is around July Fourth and we don’t really have thebest climate in central Mississippi for pumpkin growing. Pumpkins grow bestin a cooler climate to keep the inside from boiling in the Mississippi summersun.

Rick suggests buying a pumpkin if you forgot to plant your seeds this summeror if you’re like me - forgot to water them. Rick’s favorite place to purchasepumpkins is Wright’s Fruit Stand on Hwy 49 South. If you give them a call,Melinda Wright (601-497-0996) will take your custom requests for paintedpumpkins. Prices vary depending on size, but you can expect to pay $25 for amedium size painted pumpkin.

However, if you are looking for a fun project that is less messy than actuallycarving a pumpkin, Rick and I both suggest that you paint your pumpkin thisyear. If you don’t like what you paint, you can wipe it off before the paint driesand start all over. As Rick explains, “pumpkins are very forgiving.”

RICK’S PUMPKIN PAINTING SUGGESTIONS:

• Look for strong stems• Do not pick pumpkin up by the stem. The stem is sharp and could cut

your hand. Breaking the stem could also damage the pumpkin byexposing the interior to air.

• Look for pumpkins with fewer ridges for an even painting surface.• Use acrylic paint. The colors are vivid and can be washed off if you are

unhappy with your painting.• Allow paint to dry before covering with clear spray paint.• Do not cover a painted pumpkin completely with paint or lacquer. The

pumpkin needs to breathe to avoid rotting from the inside out.• Do not place pumpkin directly on the ground. To prolong the life of a

pumpkin, elevate it so that air may circulate.• Have fun, and remember that the possibilities are only limited by your

imagination.

If you do paint your pumpkin, please send us a picture on Facebook or [email protected]. We will post one pumpkin photo everyday on our Facebook page in the month of October.

There’s just something about seeing a pumpkin that lets you know fall ishere and winter is just right around the corner. Pumpkins are the perfectbridge between summer and winter, they are one of the rare fruits that canbe used as fall decoration and dining. Any recipe that calls for fresh squash

can be substituted with fresh pumpkin. As long as the rind and seeds areremoved, you will have similar results and an enhanced depth of flavor tothat of summer squash. So, if you do decide to carve your pumpkin, hereare some of my favorite recipes for pumpkin including the seeds.

A S SOON AS the redfish at AJ's on the Lake

enters your mouth, your taste buds will begin to

relish the flavor that the chef's seasoning brings

to life. And to top it off, AJ's has now embraced

the trend of fish tacos and has surpassed it with the combination of their

divine redfish and in-house-made tortillas.

But the food isn't the only thing that makes AJ's special, it's the atmosphere

on which owners John and Lucy Taylor have placed great importance.

Lucy, the "face" of the restaurant, goes the extra mile to make sure cus-

tomers are enjoying their food and having a great time. On any given night,

you can see her going from table to table to make sure food is cooked to per-

fection and that the people are having a wonderful experience. The combi-

nation of the delicious food and the ambiance of AJ's makes it the perfect

spot for a first date, an anniversary dinner or even a girls night out.

AJ's Grille actually opened in July of 1999 on County Line Road. John and

Lucy named the restaurant after their two children, Alyssa and Johnny.

Three years ago they moved the eatery to the Township at Colony Park.

But the story of John and Lucy began many years before the restaurant

opened.The two met at, of all places, the food court at Northpark Mall. John,

originally from New Orleans, asked Lucy, a native of Colombia, South

America, to pass the salt. "I stalked her all around the mall," John laughing-

ly remembers. "I asked her for her phone number and I was shocked when

she gave it to me." For a solid week John called Lucy until she returned his

phone call. Their first date took place at Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse, where

John was shocked when Lucy was greeted by two famous Mississippians,

Eudora Welty and Willie Morris, who both hugged her neck. "I thought ‘I'm

with a famous person,’ " he said.

The two were married a year later.

“I had a vision, I wanted a

restaurant with a great

ATMOSPHERE,a huge patio, something beautiful.”

- John Taylor

AJ’son the lake

o c t o b e r 2 0 1 1 51

LUCY GOT HER START here in Jackson in 1987 when she

moved from Miami and started working at a local restaurant. She

knew no English and worked at Bill's Greek Tavern where she

learned the language. John, who is a graduate of Louisiana State

University, also owns Taylor Industries. John decided to open AJ's

because Lucy's brother was traveling a good bit and they wanted him

home. "There was a bankrupt Chinese restaurant I decided to buy

and I remember Lucy thought it was so dumb," he said. Lucy's

brother was a great cook.There weren't too many seafood restaurants

in town so John decided to go in that direction.“We opened with 12

tables. The location on County Line Road was such that expansion

was limited.”

It was a short time after opening on County Line that Lucy decid-

ed to take over to John’s relief. "Lucy knew everybody," he said. "She

is wonderful with people and everybody loves her. It was just perfect

that she would take over." For nine years, the restaurant thrived on

County Line Road. However, County Line became so congested dur-

ing the Christmas season, the restaurant would actually lose their

customer base for a couple of months out of the year.

When someone approached the Taylors about moving to Township

at Colony Park, they were interested. "I had a vision," John said. "I

wanted a restaurant with a great atmosphere, a huge patio, some-

thing beautiful." Lucy brought that vision to life with the new

restaurant. She picked out the colors and decorated the entire place.

"It's so much bigger, we have a real bar, an outdoor patio and a raised

dining room," Lucy said. "It's absolutely beautiful at night."

And now with the addition of Chef Carlos, who moved from Napa

Valley over a year ago to work at AJ's, the food continues to be superb.

The move transition though hasn't always perfect. "It was very diffi-

cult going from 10 to 50 employees," said John, who

admits they weren't prepared for the business. "Sales

tripled when we moved here," he said. "It was a huge

undertaking." But today, the restaurant continues to

grow. Especially now that they cater for The Club

next door.

"I think what makes us special is that we treat our

servers like family," Lucy said. "We try to make it

special."

THEIR FAVORITE STORY is the first year they

opened at Township, the first lady of Mississippi

came to a birthday lunch with her friends and liked

the food so much that she brought the governor back

the very next day.

Lucy believes it's the fresh quality and the AJ's sea-

soning that makes their food so unique. The Taylors

also love to change up their menu. They get ideas

from traveling to other restaurants throughout the

country. Their favorite restaurants are in New

Orleans.

My favorite part of the job is seeing my customers return again and again.We become like a family sharing with one another. Many of my customershave my personal e-mail and phone number. I love to hear from them andsee them.

What is the most interesting thing that has ever happened to you?

I have customers I dearly love: The number is too numerous to list, but theyknow who they are. They are on my Christmas card list. Now that isanother story... I guess the interesting thing was about six or seven yearsago when I went to pick up Nick's Best of Jackson Award at the JacksonFree Press party. I walked up to receive it and Donna Ladd said, "You'reJanis..we don't have a category for Best Server yet, but people keep writing in your name."


My largest tip was from a single man, I still remember, he ate lamb chopsand sat at table 10. He tipped me $600. I jumped on the ottoman in the bar like it was a trampoline and it cracked. He was from Atlanta and I think he may have been an angel. One week after that I had anunexpected $600 expense. I Googled him and sent him a thank you card. I have never seen him again.


I have a degree from the University of Arkansas in education. I was alibrarian and publications advisor for 12 years. I have been a server since Iwas 19. Even when I taught I worked in a restaurant. I love my customersand have a blast with the staff. I try to stay involved in my community,Fondren.


If I could not wait another table, I would work in the exercise industry fulltime. I have taught Body Pump at The Courthouse for 10 years. It would benice to work for a non profit. My love is promotion and fund-raising.Projects keep me going. I panic when I get to the end of a project and startlooking for another.

As far as people are concerned and my people talents, I remember some-thing Mr. Broome, a photographer from the Clarion Ledger, said when hespoke to my photographers at Hillcrest. "Everyone has a gift you just haveto be patient and wait for it." I can feel frumpy, sad or mad, and my cus-tomers can just light up my day and wash the blues away.

If I have one person to thank it has to be my hero, Nick Apostle. I had toconvince him to keep me 22 years ago, because I was teaching school andhe didn't allow part-time help. He took a chance on me. Oh yes, there isAven Bilbo who hired me to work at Primos Northgate in 1988 and thentook me to Nick's. Love my Primos, especially Mr. Kenneth. Mr. Kennethwrote when I received the waitress award in the Clarion Ledger years ago,"There must be a mistake, but congratulations anyway."

Title: Manager-Chef


We opened the restaurant in April 2000. Started work in 1998 with Jim.


I love cooking!! I also enjoy the people, those I work with as well as all the customers.

What is the most interesting thing that has ever happened to you?

Jim and I were delivering a wedding cake to the University Club and the city ofJackson was having a bike race. They were circling Capitol Street and Amite Streetand we had to park on the other side of the street and run each tier of cake over, waitfor bicyclers to pass and run back. It was a five tier cake, needless to say, it was a littlestressful but also very comical.


Never dread anything, always try to make whatever you are doing fun.


It was something Jim always wanted to do, open a restaurant, and working for himand with him has been a joy. As I said earlier I love cooking and working with peopleand that goes with the business.


I don't want to think about doing anything else as a career, but one of my joys in life isworking with the Center for Domestic Violence. I enjoy helping others.

Title: Bartender

How long have you been at your current restaurant?It will be six years in October.

What is your favorite part of the job?My favorite part of my job would have to be the people I interact with and get to meetevery day, whether it be the people I work with or the ones I wait on. There are so manyfabulous individuals in this town and I am proud to have the opportunity to get to knowas many as I have.

What is the most interesting thing that has ever happened to you?Well, every day winds up being an interesting day, but my favorites were the days of theSweet Potato Queens before the St. Paddy's Day Parade. Having women from all over theworld come together in Bravo! to share one joyous experience and get dressed up to cele-brate life and friendship is truly an interesting day.

What was your biggest tip?I can say that my best tip was advice by a very smart man. He told me that no matterhow hard you try, you cannot make everyone happy. The best that you can do is makeyourself happy and hope that they see that and strive to do that for themselves.

Why the restaurant business?I was young and knew a lot of people in the industry who recommended the job. Theythought I would succeed based on my personality and my energy level. I like to thinkthey are right and that I have succeeded.

If you could choose another career, what would it be?I have actually already begun to pursue another career. If my plans go well, I should bewell on my way in the medical field soon.

Title: Manager


I have been at Kristos since before they opened, two years ago thisSeptember. Before that I worked for Chili's as a bartender for a fewyears.


I love the unpredictable side of the job. No day is the same asanother. Every problem is different. New customers all the time. Youcan try, but it is almost impossible to control a restaurant.Something can always disturb the flow.

What is the most interesting thing that has ever happened to

you?

I was bar tending during St. Patrick's Day parade years ago and itstarted raining. Two ladies came into the bar I was working atbecause of the inclimate weather. They ordered some food andstarted asking for shots. A few hours later they needed a cab. Whilethey were waiting for the cab one lady went to the bathroom. Theother one gave me a credit card. She paid the hundred dollar taband tipped me $25. After they left I went to clean the table andthere was $125 in cash on the table. The lady that went to thebathroom didn't realize her friend had already paid the tab. Thenext day one of them called to ask what happened and when Iexplained all the lady could say was I made good shots and to havea good day.


Percentage wise the story above and at Christmas I was given a$100 bill on a $40 ticket from a husband and wife. I went back tothe table and showed the lady thinking she made a mistake andshe told me she could read. Not much you can say other than thankyou at that point.


I started waiting tables when I was $19. I have worked on cars, airconditioning systems, cell phone towers and a few other things. Forthe time, money and entertainment, I have always come back to therestaurant business.


A pilot because my father was one. But, I am probably going to getmy private license instead of trying to make a living flying planes. Ilove playing the guitar and singing, but realistically who evermakes it as a rock star. A lot of pipe dreams. Race car driver, base-ball player, who doesn't want to be in the movies. I would like toinvent things one day. Stuff people use on a daily basis to maketheir lives easier. But, for now I like what I am doing.

Title: General Manager


Nine years


So I know it is totally cliche, but the customers. We have thebest people that come in and it is a pleasure to serve them. Ilove to go to work. There is a lot to be said if you enjoy yourjob.

What is the most interesting thing that has ever

happened to you?

Not at Walker's, but at a different restaurant, I had to performthe Heimlich maneuver on a man. At Walker's, I have hadthe pleasure of meeting several celebrities such as Emeriland Octavia Spencer. One of the coolest was Denis O'Hare. Iam a big True Blood fan and was thrilled to meet him.


I once gave myself a $1000 tip, total mistake. Thank good-ness the customers were understanding when they calledback.


My parents were in the business and I have been drawn toit since I was little. I have tried other jobs but this is what Ilike to do the most.


I would love to be an artist, I admire people who can look ablank canvas and make something beautiful.
