Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
When Azzie fried shrimp her platter would run over and there was never a crumb left. She would take me with her when she went to visit friends who worked for other people. Her best friend was Aunt Becky who worked for the Allen family and lived with them like Azzie lived with our family. Some of my fondest memories were swimming with the Allen's daughter, Ricky, and we would dive for silver dollars. Doctor Allen would flip them in the pool and Ricky and I would swim like fish.
