In fact he tried his hand at doing just that. He told me he had been living west of town about five miles on a rented ranch that had been a Dairy Farm at one time. He had been in the war and, I figure he was about my age and was probably born in 1920 or 21. I learned that he was born and grew up in Blanco County near Johnson City. I felt that behind his disguise was something unusual. Something about him made me want to come back and try to figure out just what made the man "tick". He made a good impression and I could tell he was reared in the country by his talk and mannerism. Jay was a friendly man and gladly showed me all he had in way of items I was looking for. Jay was operating a Wool and Mohair Store on the edge of town on Hwy 29 and located east of the South San Gabriel River Bridge. We had just closed on a real estate transaction and bought a 437 acre ranch west of town off Hwy 29. The first person I remember meeting in Georgetown in 1952 was Jay Wolf.
