I just got a call telling me Jap Jackson of Avery was buried, today I guess, not sure. Jap had the gas station next to Medford's store for many years. A very good man. This gas station was similar to the one at Mayberry on TV, but it was a little better and Jap had a mechanic shop in the back of it. Jap was not a "Goober". Jap was a friendly, hard working man, with class. The caller said there was a poem about Jap in the funeral bulletin written by "Jim & Sue and Family". Lois Pace Butler called me thinking we were the only Jim & Sue she knew of. She read it off to me, it was a great poem, but I did not write it. She thought maybe I wrote it long ago in Avery, but nothing in the poem about Jap sounded familiar to me. Much was in it that I did not even know about Jap. Anyone know who this Jim and Sue could be. I figure surely it is some of the family by not having the last name printed. Jim G
