Hello, my name is Jack and I am from Savannah,
Georgia. I have been married 34 years this December 2007, to my wife
Trisha, who is an Adoption Consultant for the March of Dimes. My
oldest daughter Stephanie is married and lives in Macon and my younger
daughter, Laurie, is working on her MBA at Mercer University.
My favorite activities and hobbies are college
sports, especially football. I love major league baseball, biking,
swimming, traveling, chilling out at the beach, and rock & roll
(especially the 50’s, 60’s, and early 70’s). I
also love playing with our 7 pets: 3 dogs, 3 cats, and a small parrot
What brought me to Old Town Trolley Tours of Savannah
was my wife saw an advertisement. I had been a docent at Owen-Thomas
House and “went for it”. People always told me that as
a native, I gave great “5 cent tours”, so now it is a “real
job.” |

 Hi,
my name is Irenette, but my friends call me Nette. I have lived
in Savannah all of my life, but I was never so knowledgeable about
the town until I came to work for Old Town Trolley.
I have one teenage son who keeps me busy. Before coming to
Old Town Trolley I held such positions as a head teller at a bank,
a sales rep, a customer service rep, and a school bus driver. Now
I am a conductor. I was never much of a talker, but I guess
now I get to talk all day. |

 I am originally from Kansas City, Mo, and lived life as an Air Force brat. I have lived in Ga on and off for 20 years. I fell in love with Savannah about five years ago and have been here since.
I’m a kid at heart, enjoying playing video games, basketball, going to football, having a cook-out with friends, playing dominoes and spades. I am a spontaneous type of guy, enjoying my kids and everything life has to offer.
I landed this job quite by accident and am very glad to be here. |

Michael “Lil Mickey” |

 Hi! My name is Little Mickey. I was born and raised right here in Savannah, GA. I am the second oldest of five children, and I was educated in the public school system of Savannah. I received my BA degree from Armstrong Atlantic State University in 1988. My father and I worked together for 30 years. I have been happily married for 24 years to my lovely wife, Linda, and we have 3 grown children.
I enjoy collecting coins and paper money. In my spare time I go to all the coin shows I can. I also enjoy gardening, reading, and baseball, especially the Atlanta Braves and the New York Yankees.
I came to Old Town Trolley Tours because I saw an ad in the morning paper about becoming a conductor, so I decided to apply because I lived in both the Historic and Victorian Districts. Savannah is a beautiful old city and I thought this would be a fun job. It turned out I was right – I am really enjoying working here at Old Town Trolley! |

Terry |

 Hey there! I’m Terry, close friends call me “T”, my wife refers to me as “Mr. Hayes”, Mom calls me “#1 Son”, and my Caribbean friends just say “Boss” – you’ve got lots of choices if you want to get my attention!
I am a Vietnam Era Vet, world traveler (18 countries), former IBM Customer Engineer, father of four, and grandfather of one (so far). I studied photography at Massy College (now named the Art Institute of Atlanta), worked as a photojournalist and as a portrait photographer in the Middle East. My favorite food is Thai and my favorite place is the island of Jamaica where I lived and worked and never suffered “Island Fever”.
I fell in love with Savannah while shooting a photo assignment here. I love the live oaks and moss, the small town atmosphere, abundance of seafood, plethora of history, and an excellent growth industry which I work in – tourism. It’s also an excellent place for my grand kids to visit me, and there’s much more warm weather than cold- very important to me! Uh-oh, I think I was supposed to be brief. Enjoy your stay! |

 Greetings! My name is William “Will”, and I’m proud to be a Conductor for Old Town Trolley. I was born and raised in Kansas, but always had a desire to move closer to the ocean. Having received a BA degree in Philosophy and a Masters degree in Theology I enjoyed working in a variety of different positions including administration, teaching, and pastoral work. After 25 years, I decided it was time for a change and decided to move south near the ocean. Upon my arrival in Savannah in 2004 I immediately fell in love with it: the Jewel of the Low Country, an old colonial city bursting with charm was too much for this Kansan to resist!
In a strange but exciting way I’m still sharing my passion for history, not from a desk or a podium… but as a tour guide for Historic Tours of America…. WELCOME ABOARD! |
