  • Fear of Big Red canceled fishing

    I have said before that my daddy loved fishing.  Not having a son to fish with for eight years, I was his fishing buddy.  He had his favorite “fishing holes” and one of them belonged to Mr. John Yates.  The only problem was, we had to walk about a mile from where we parked our car to get to the pond.

  • Summertime visiting

    I was always so excited for summer break to come about because that meant that I could begin my visits to my cousin’s houses out in the country.  I loved to spend several days with my aunt and uncle and three cousins in the Hebron community.  I would always go during their revival time and we would go every night.

    The Strand Theatre was so important to me and my life during my childhood.  I was given 50 cents a week for an allowance and all of it would go to my Saturday movie time.
