This item from the Athens Banner-Herald of 11/26/95 may be of some
interest:

"WENDELL GEE, Pendergrass

Wendell Gee, 69, of 695 John B. Brooks Rd., died Saturday,
November 25, 1995.
A native of Jackson, GA., Mr. Gee was a son of the late Roy Gee,
Sr. and Emma Fowler Gee and widow of Jenny Gee.
He operated Wendell Gee Used Cars in Pendergrass and was a member
of Pendergrass Baptist Church.
He was a U.S. Army veteran of World War II and was a member of
the American Legion and the Ga. Sheriff's Assoc.
He was preceded in death by a son, Randall Gee.
Funeral services will be at 2pm Monday at Pendergrass Baptist
Church, Reverend Charles Jenks and Larry Elrod officiating.
Survivors include his wife, Lois Smith Gee; a daughter, Elaine
Watson; a stepdaughter, Rebecca Skinner; two sons, Ronnie Gee and Ricky
Gee; a stepson, Patrick Garrett; a brother, Roy Gee, Jr.; 14
grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren."


Pendergrass is a wide spot in the road between Athens and Gainesville.
One member of the Gee family or another seems to own all of what few
businesses there are, to judge by the signs. Wendell Gee Used Cars is
prominent among them and quite visible to all who drive the highway
through town.

"There wasn't even time to say
Goodbye to Wendell Gee
So whistle as the wind blows
Whistle as the wind blows away."

I really hope they played the song at the memorial. Unfortunately, now
his headstone will be another stop on the Athens/R.E.M./Georgia tour route.

yea, it seems in an interview I heard back in '84, that there's a town
where everything is run by this gee family and i guess they just wrote a
song about it. Kinda funny, i guess....later

Is there a particular cemetery in Athens at which he is buried?
I'm going to Athens (joiners??) on my way home to Florida and thought I
would drive through the town and check out a few notables, mainly the 40
Watt club. To bad Tyrones is no more...there's a place I could stay for
days.
