Southern Belle Supernova

  Rhett Blount with his 2003 Ford F-150 Lariat. I n the South, trucks are more than just vehicles; they are a way of life. From the sprawling farms to the winding backroads, trucks are essential tools that help us navigate the diverse landscapes and fulfill our daily duties. They are a symbol of resilience and self-reliance, embodying the spirit of the southern lifestyle. Rhett Blount knows this well.   His family is a Ford family.   His grandaddy, Alton "Jack" Jackson worked at the Ford plant in Atlanta for 15+ years.   His mom had a Mustang, an Explorer and now, an Expedition.   His grandmother has a Ford Explorer.   His uncle has a Ford F-150.   His father has a F-150 Platinum. Growing up, Rhett loved his dad’s 2003 Ford F-150 Lariat.   When Rhett learned to drive, that truck became his.   The photograph above is one of Rhett's high school senior pictures taken in 2021.  He is now a student at Augusta State University pursuing his Bachelor of Science in Nursing.
