Brunswick, Missouri - World's Largest Concrete Pecan

I am what in Charton County we call a "shirttail" relative of the James family (George was my mother's sister's husband's first cousin ...). We visited the old home country on Memorial Day - a regular tradition - and we always try to stop in for the chocolate covered pecans (try them, they're great).

The nut and it's hut are no longer is disrepair - George's son has taken over and is fixing up things quite nicely, and preparing the World's Largest Concrete Pecan for a long and happy future. One of the buildings is being painted now, and more work is planned. [Mark Reddig, 07/21/2005]

George James has since passed away a year or so ago. The pecan still stands but is in disrepair. [David Straub, 02/15/2000]

The World's Largest Concrete Pecan, Brunswick, MO, still sits where the James' built it in '82. However, the flood of '94 washed away most of the paint, and now it looks like a suppository, or maybe a turd, as my friend ReBecca thinks. The James are in ailing health -- George sounded very sick when I interviewed him. [San Lopez, 11/11/1997]
