I just happened to sit down at the Franklin Pride Festival a couple of weeks ago across the table from a guy named Patrick Prince.
I'm Keith Sharon, a reporter with The Tennessean. First, he tells me he's flown in that morning from Southern California. He lives in Fairview, works in L.A. I ask him his line of work.
