THE MAYONNAISE JAR AND THE COFFEE Please take a couple of minutes to read this one, it's a good reminder for all of us who lead such busy lives! When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar... and the coffee... A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They all agreed that it was. The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was. The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with the now famous "yes." The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed. "Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life..... The golf balls are the important things.... Your family, your spouse, your children, your faith, your health, your friends, and your favourite passions. Things that if everything else was lost, and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter..... Your job, your house and your car. The sand is everything else..... The small stuff. "If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your spouse/partner out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first, the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand." One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented. The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend." I just finished my two. a friend Bob
Hey Sue...did not mean to confuse you. Billy Clark Hesson b 15 Mar 1930 was the son of Fred (KatSox) Hesson and his wife Lennie Clark. Billy Clark H. married Martha_______. Does anyone know where that nickname of KatSox came from?

Billy Clark was born 15 Mar 1930 and during the worst of WWII 1941 he would only have been 11 years old. Billy Clark did die in a Navy plane crash in 1957. My records do not show that he was married to a Margaret. I also went to 537 Smith History and re read that history that Fred Hesson wrote and found no referral to a Margaret (Piper, or otherwise). (My research is with Altie Bell Duke who married Johnnie Hesson). Melba Wilkins ******************************************************** OK, I hate to sound like the "moron" here, but I'm confused?? I understand B C is not the son of Fred, but is Billy Clark, the son of Fred or is Billy Clark, B C?? WHICH one was b. 1930, WHICH one died in the plane crash in 1957??

It always amazes me just how small. I wanted to say we lived in the 1600 block as well but can't be sure. My parents probably knew your relatives as mother was one of those people who knew everyone and never forgot them and any connection they may have had with out family. Just too bad I did not get hooked on family lines until after she and dad were gone. She could really have filled in a lot of gaps. She was one of the Macon Co.

Lori: A question on your Bruce line: Do you have a Benjamin Brittain Bruce b at 1770/75 in your data base. Not sure of his place of birth. Some of the Bruce's left TN for KY and other areas. I don't know about mine. He is in Catahoula Parish, LA about 1800. It is believed that he may have came out of KY. I have proven records of him from 1800. He died in 1822 in Catahoula Parish, LA leaving three boys and three girls and no wife.

McCawley, dated August 16th, stating that you was with your command and in good health, which we were very thankful to hear, but sorry to hear you were crippled, but it may all be for the best; we still hope your life will be spared and you will be permitted to return home again. We are all at this time in the enjoyment of good health. Henry is going to school, Oliver, Lissie and the children are well, Sis and her children are well, Lydia is going to school. Frank and Vantis Fowler are at Camp Chase in prison, we hear from them nearly every week, they are well at last account. Halls family are well, Bill McCawley is at home, the widow Brooks family are well. Peter Brooks, Ephraim Wilson and Harrison Draper died on Rock Island. We have never heard anything from Dennis McCawley. Marshall Brooks is dead. A.W.W. Brooks, Marlin Haile and Kirby from your company have been at home. Joshua and Thomas Haile are at Camp Chase in prison with Frank, they were well the last time we heard from them. Davidson-Dycus family are well. Tell J.B. West his father and mother are well and that Nancy McCoin married a federal soldier by the name of Marion Long. I will now give a list of marriages as best I can. R.F. Richmond and Polly Hobby. Bill McCoin and Emma Brooks. Lizzie Richmond and John Duvall. Belle Petty and Sam Johnson. Arelias Hall and Samantha Bryant. Fannie Sadler and Bill Stanton. Will Harring and Mary Huffines. I believe that is all. Dr. Bill Sadler and Dr. Matt Sadler are both dead. We saw Dr. Ferguson today; he said his and Thomas Bryants family are well. I believe our friends and acquaintances in general are well. S______s(indecipherable) health is tolerable good, he sends his respects to you. John and Andy are still here and doing as well as could be expected. Martha ran away last Spring. Crops are very good though we have some losses we still have plenty to eat and wear and are very thankful for that. I hope the time will soon come when you can return home and dwell in peace with us again. Give my compliments and best wishes to all my acquaintances. Mother, Puss, Settie, Henry, Sis, Lizzie and Oliver send their love to you and respects to inquiring friends. Papa is well, he sends his best wishes to you.

Sue...I am thinking that B. C. and Billy Clark cannot be one and the same person. Billy Clark was born 15 Mar 1930 and during the worst of WWII 1941 he would only have been 11 years old. Billy Clark did die in a Navy plane crash in 1957. My records do not show that he was married to a Margaret. I also went to 537 Smith History and re read that history that Fred Hesson wrote and found no referral to a Margaret (Piper, or otherwise). (My research is with Altie Bell Duke who married Johnnie Hesson).

Sue, I don't know the answer to your question but during WWII, we had a Margaret Hesson that boarded with us while her husband B.C. Hesson was in the service. I haven't looked at the old pictures for awhile but I think I remember there was a picture of Margaret. We lived on Shelby Ave. in Nashville, Tn. I was young and I am not sure if Margaret was just a friend of the family but it seems she was related in some way. I know we have Piper's on my father's side (Smith). I did not know Margaret was a Piper!!
