  1. My Uncle Eddie Suiter was at one time Manager of the Independents. I remember them coming and stopping at our house several times in the 70’s and one time babysitted us while my mother and Uncle Eddie went to buy Kentucky Fried Chicken for Dinner. My mother is Eddie Suiter sister and we lived in Pittsburg, Pa
