Notes: Memories: I don't remember Uncle Jimmy very well, but I can still hear his laugh and smell the cigar. I do remember the day he bet Uncle Claude, "Shorty" as he called him, that he couldn't climb the telephone pole in Aunt Mahalia's yard. Uncle Claude couldn't pass up a dare, so he put on those lineman cleats that Uncle Jimmy had and up he went - and down he came, sliding down the pole and taking all the hide off his stomach. Uncle Jimmy doubled over laughing, saying "Take, taken, Shorty, the same thing happened to me". Uncle Jimmy always started his sentences with "take", that I remember. I have faint memories of the day Uncle Jimmy died. I remember mostly the quiet. The world seemed to have stopped, and everyone spoke in a hushed whisper. Death was supposed to come for the old, not take a young man in his prime - and not leave a widow alone with young children to feed. I admired the quiet strength that I saw in my Aunt Mahalia. I still do.
