Thinking about yall today. Mom and Dad went to the parade this morning. They said it wasnt as exciting without us. Theres a snapshot somewhere of Eddie Wilson and me dressed as cowboys for our jr. play. I was remembering when we almost caused our play to be cancelled by Lucille Patton. He said something sarcastic to me, (with his Elvis-curled lip), that I didnt appreciate. I knocked his designer-Stetson off. He poked me in the nose. I cried! We rassled. Calmer people prevailed... End of fight. Lucille sent everyone home and told us there wouldnt be a play. Well, this was dress rehearsal, and Im sure she heard from Grady, Joe Bailey, Charlie, et. al. (Loretta, too...since her daughter was a star.) I had borrowed the chaps and cowboy trappings from Sprout Seddon and Bill Cummins. It was a a great play! Ed and I were like Tommy Lee Jones and Robert Duvall in Lonesome Dove! Happy Memorial Day to all my dear friends from Hollis, especially Eddie Wilson (the authentic cowboy!)
