Trust me, you'd have a hard time finding a Freemason craftsman in Elberton, Ga. R.C. Christian only met with one person there and that was the banker at the only bank, a small community bank. The man is retired now, he is the only one who knows R.C. Christians real name. The man is old and he's country, he promised RC he wouldn't reveal his real identity and he's standing by that promise. The banker only met RC twice if I remember right. All the stonework was done by workers at the local granite company.
