I find tHem quite interesting, and I am always looking forward to the next one. Your stories remind me of my parents, my Grandma Crain, and her mother, my Great-grandma Sackett. My grandma Sackett, gave Dr. Harris in Newport , Arkansas, where I was born in 1950 , two bushels of green beans, for a job well done. When, they brought me home, my Grandma Crain put my feet in the dirt on the Sackett farm outside of Swifton, Arkansas ,and said, grow,and I did. It must have worked. Thurmon , as far as I am concerned ,I enjoy hearing Sackett family history , if you don't pass in on, who will , and what is it, that we all are searching for continuously, but a connection to our ancestors, something more , than just names and dates, something about them and their lifes and their character, events in their lives, etc... Thank you ,Thurman, for your wonderous stories, Charles.
