You probably thought Mississippi Riverboat Captains lived only in the novels of Mark Twain. But these mythic men of the river are very real. Ask Danny Ryals. He was one of them for more than a 20 years. But now his feet are permanently planted on land, raising a family here in the center of the Panhandle, in the town of Blountstown where he was born and raised. He has only been back from the river for 6 years, but in that short time his endless enthusiasm, boundless energy and infectious friendliness have made his real estate agency the fastest growing, most successful one in the area. And the one that people enjoy most when they're seeking help buying or selling property. Odds are, you will too. Call, fax or email him with your needs, wishes and desires. Or, better yet, visit him. And if you come around Christmas time, ask him to take you for a ride in the Christmas Bus and bring your camera. The colorful Christmas Bus has become an institution around the area and you'll want to have a picture of it to bring back home.
