I don't think hugging and kissing in JC Pennys was remaining distant in public. They were well aware of each other and acknowledged it. How can there be so much misunder standing from my simple tid bit of information and quest for names of my black relatives? I encourage the correspondence; however, this makes the second person who misunderstood. Maybe I need to go back and take Writing 099 (smile). I meant that as a small joke. Do you know the names of any of Vardry's slaves (male and female)? Thanks for your letter.

Similar to many other family tales. Your are correct however that a Black man would have had to be a saint, a genius and very powerful to have any social or political standing in the south at that period of time.
