Eddie Jones, panelist, Lighter Side of Nashville's Business Past, June 5, 2007
On June 5, 2007, Nashville Bank & Trust sponsored a panel discussion called "The Lighter Side of Nashville's Business Past." Among the panelists was Nashville legend Eddie Jones (1924-2009) who recalled some interesting anecdotes about Nashville business icons. The first story is about the rivalry between Andrew Benedict's First American Bank and Bill Earthman's Commerce Union Bank that played out in the banks' executive dining rooms. The second details an evening when the board of US Steel came to Nashville for a meeting and Andrew Benedict and Sam Fleming competed to impress the visiting officers. The final story is about how Sam Fleming got Marquette Cement to move their corporate headquarters to Nashville by convincing a condo to change its dog policy. The video is a wide shot without much variation, but the audio is excellent. This year's Lighter Side event will be held at 5:30 pm, Tuesday, June 9, in Paschal Theatre at Montgomery Bell Academy. Admittance is free.
