Charles Clifford Potter (1942-1992)

Charles Clifford Anderson was a successful businessman and philanthropist in Lee County, Alabama. A native of the Sylvania, Georgia, area, he was an alumnus of Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College and a graduate of Georgia Southern University. At one time, he was in charge of logistics for Diversified Products, a company owned by future Alabama governor Fob James. He would go on to be Director of the Housing Authority of Greater Lee County, Alabama, and serve on the boards of BankCorp South and the local Boys and Girls Club. He was twice honored by the Alabama State Legislature as an honorary Colonel in the "Alabama Militia", a purely symbolic gesture. A great lover of trains, he collected a multitude of train collectibles and even constructed a railroad landscape that circles an entire room in his house at about 5 feet off the floor, complete with a pivoting section to allow entry without having to bend over. It includes electrified tracks, buildings, hills, valleys, bushes, trees and even rivers, all personally created and painted by Charles and his friends. Charles is still sorely missed by his family since he succumbed to Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma over 16 years ago. The respect he held in the community was such that so many people gave money to the Boys and Girls Club in his name that they named a building then under construction after him. It still serves a lasting legacy to all he did for the underpriveleged of Lee County.
