Help me remember

We bought two motorhomes from a dealer east of Atlanta in the early 1990's. He was a huge Wanderlodge dealer and just about everything they built in middle Georgia either went to him or a dealer in Texas.
He was a salty guy and a lot of fun to talk with. His 'everyday' auto was a Bently and smoked cigars. He passed several years ago and the dealership closed shortly after his death.
I cannot recall his name and cannot find paperwork from those two coaches.
Any of you guys remember or know the dealership? Getting old is no fun when you can't remember the good times along with the bad

I think it would help to tell us what brand of motorhomes you bought. Then the supersleuths can search the old business listings.

The OP said Wanderlodge. Which was short for Blurbird Wanderlodge.

John Bleakly was in 2 places close to Atlanta. I think the Texas dealer was Buddy Gregg. Not sure if both exist today .

Bleakly sounds familiar.

Thanks guys! It was John Bleakly. I have a couple of caps he gave me someplace. He was a salty mouth guy, but if he gave you his word, it was golden. Kept his sales staff on their toes. Not sure he sold anything but motorhomes. Had a sign up "John Bleakly Motorhomes" in the big store just off I-20.
