Join us for another episode of Untold Stories, featuring Renay Daigle, a Jacksonville resident with over 35 years of local ties. In this lively and humorous story, Renee takes us back to the summer of 1993 when her sales job at the Jacksonville Business Journal led to an unforgettable encounter with a stranded billboard repairman.

From navigating waist-high grass in high heels to overcoming her fears of snakes and bugs, Renee humorously recounts the challenges she faced in an impromptu rescue mission. With sharp wit, she reflects on her personality—caring deeply and always embracing difficult situations—and how it shaped this quirky adventure. Ultimately, Renee’s story leaves us with a message about staying true to who we are, no matter the challenges.
