BillRuby, on Collier
Barron Collier was a
Florida land baron (sorry) from
Memphis, who was killed by the
PCs while they were recovering Bill Ruby's
ConfederateMoney from him. (A death that seems more and more momentous with each session.) He was a member of the
LeagueOfGoodRoads.
Collier was a road builder, too. He built the Tamiami Trail (US 41) from Tampa to Miami, which was partly responsible for setting off the Florida real estate boom of the 1920s. He is also credited with inventing the yellow dividing lines on American highways.
His final words have been immortalized as
BarronColliersRant.
