The sign behind William Leverette told his story.
“A man never stands so tall as when he stoops to help a child.”
But Leverette didn’t leave the telling of his story to the sign at the Crenshaw County Shrine Club’s building in Luverne. He greeted those who came to the Shrine club’s 41st “World Largest Peanut Boil” and offered them a sample of the “world’s best peanuts.”
Leverette didn’t have to do that.
Most people who visited the peanut boil already knew how good the goobers are. But Leverette wanted to show his support the Shriners in their endeavor. He wanted to be there to tell anyone who was willing to listen that the World’s Largest Peanut Boil is about more than peanuts. “It’s about caring for others. It’s about giving hope and it’s about changing lives for the better.”
