Gayle, Sorry, I mistakenly filed several emails before I answered them and your's was overlooked. Here are my responses to your questions: > I noticed you said your Mom name WINSLOW. Martha WINSLOW Raye was one of my > supervisor with HeadStart. Her brother Bill WINSLOW had the bank in > Goldsboro. Any relation? I do not have any of my mother's family history so I don't know where her Winslow middle name came from. That will have to be my next project! > How long will you be in Switzerland? Do you ever go to Italy or Sicily? I > have done my husband's genealogy. His father's people are from Palermo and > his Mom's people are from Riesi, Caltanissetta, Sicily. I will be in Switzerland until mid-December when my wife and I return to eastern NC for a one-year furlough. I have vacationed in northern Italy but haven't been to southern Italy since I hitch-hiked around Europe in the early 70's. But that's another story... > You are a year older than I am. My brother, Bobby Williams graduated from > Goldsboro High so you two were probably in some classes along the way. > Jeff, my younger brother was b. in 1951. I'll have to dust off my old albums when I get back in NC to look Bobby up. > I was going to tell you I bet my Grandfather Albert Williams knew your > father. Mom would tell us stories how Granddaddy would take them to town > because he would have to buy seeds from Musgraves or the other seed > companies. I loved traveling from farm to farm in the summer with my dad. He was a pork barbeque expert (I didn't know there was any other kind until I lived in Texas) and he knew eastern NC like the back of his hand. He seemed to never take the same road twice but there was always a barbeque lodge nearby at noon. It was during one of those summers that I mastered the art of pouring salted peanuts into my ice cold Pepsi in a moving automobile without losing a single one (or having the foam spilling over the neck of the bottle). > Did you have Mr. Eugene ROBERTS for one o f your teachers? He is a cousin > of my Grandmother Nettie Mozingo Williams. He was my minister and he > married my husband and I. No, I don't recollect Mr. Roberts. What subjects did he teach? Although I can't remember the names of my teachers, I do remember each of my football coaches. Pretty obvious where my interested lay... > It has been great strolling down memory lane with you, Robert. It is amazing, Gayle, that we lived and worked so often in the same areas yet our paths don't cross until we are thousands of miles apart. I too worked at Belks (in the old store downtown) with Miss Trudy and the "girls". I even remember when John Turnage was hired to work in the men's department. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Robert L.
