Sent: Feb 1, 2010 9:30 PM My maternal grandfather , the Sheriff, was well liked by most of thepeople of the county. Most of them called him "Mistah Willie" grandma was "Missus Willie." He never had aproblem getting the help he needed regardless of the work to be done, many just volunteering. Hi summer barbeques and fish fries always drew a crowd and no problem in getting clean up crews. The "fish frys' were held down by the river, lots of cooks tending the frying of the fish and 'hush puppies.' The barbeques were held at the homeplace. Everyone was welcome to come by and share the good eats. A big iron pot held the ever loved BRUNSWICK STEW. The cook added fresh cut corn and green lima beans for those who liked them. Thhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhere was tea and lemonade, he didn't allow alcohol at his gatherings. There were slices of watermelon for later.
