I heard the caller talking about the City Confidential that focused on the snake handlers up on Sand Mountain. I just saw this episode a few weeks ago, and I didn't think it portrayed the people in the area in a bad light. I have been up there on the Mountain. They did everything they could to keep this man and his church out of their community, but they couldn't get rid of him, or them. I found it a very interesting show. Here is the link: www.aetv.com/city_confidential/city_episode_guide.jsp?episode=137930In a hamlet near Scottsboro, Alabama, Reverend Summerford was head preacher at the Church of Jesus with Signs Following, a congregation of snake handlers. Prone to heavy drinking and enraged by his wife's infidelities, in 1991 Summerford forced her to plunge her arm into a cage of rattlesnakes, then write a suicide note. Unfortunately for her husband, she lived! Narrated by Paul Winfield.
