Diner Hunter 
Efford was my grandfather and was a character. His family were moonshiners down in Georgia. He was known as “Gambling Andy” and loved the horses. While in high school, I got to work with him one day at the Tavern on Harford Road near Broadway. Didn’t get paid but ate quite a few burgers.
