Greetings, Don!  Happy New Year in 2011! I have the obituary for this gentleman from Tuesday's Fort Worth Star-Telegram, and thought you may have known him or his family.  It says his parents were Jeff and Beatrice Mae DAVIS.  His date of birth:  25 June 1932, in Pyatt, Arkansas.  He was one of five brothers who "grew up in the Ozark Mountains."  He met his wife Norma Sue TAYLOR, when both were attending the School of the Ozarks.  They married 21 March 1955 when he returned home from service in the Korean War. He earned a business degree from Arkansas State University and in 1970 bought Dillon Material Handling in Dallas.  It outlines his continued business successes, having  owned national and international companies.  He  held 19 patents. There was article in Star-Telegram about his being the "Doughnut Man" chronicling his Saturday deliveries of doughnuts with notes of encouragement, which delighted and inspired his relaties, friends and even strangers for over a decade. He was 78 and had recently been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. I'd like to send this story and his shorter obituary to you, as you may know or run across someone interested in him and his family.  Please send me your address and I'll start New Year by mailing this to you. Thank you.

Instead of the traditional Hog Jowl, I like to save a bit of the Petit Jean Smoked Ham  left over from Christmas, that really makes them good. There are not many ways that I know how to make Collard Greens taste good, except add a lot of pepper sauce. And of course the crowning jewel of the just after midnight snack is corn bread. My party may not last that late today so probably will have the feast for lunch.     I have heard that prior to the Civil War, black eyed peas were just used for animal feed and that large farms with slaves usually let them have peas to eat. During Sherman's march when the Union soldiers took much of the food supply, everyone was left scrapping and that is when cow peas and black eyed peas became a part of the staple. That may well be a tale without a lot of truth, however many old southerners like to have black eyed peas on New Years Day, that will bring good luck the rest of the year.
