Horace, I think he saw his shadow here and true, we have not had any cold weather to speak of. Which is fine with me, I'm a warm weather person myself. Me and Jimmy are coming up on 72 this spring and summer. I wasn't as smart as you and Jim Persons and back then we moved when the rent came due so I didn't stand a chance in the first and second grades. But when I hit the scene at ole Comer, I went straight through. I'm glad it happened now tho, If I had graduated with Jimmy in 52, Oner was in the 7th grade and our hooking up would have been unlikly in the least. Course I could have Married some of Romeo Jimmy Holmes left overs. I'm not kidding and Jimmy Persons could tell you the same thing, He had his share and mine too of beautiful wimmin.
BTW, My Mom and Dad eloped on this day and Andrew Hawkins, a cousin helped them tie the knot. My Grand Daddy was a mean man and thought the girls were his personal slaves and would'd have liked it at all if he lost one of his workers, but he did. MVB ES
