Henry Clyde Aldridge
	This is my Grandfather. Henry Clyde Aldridge. I don't remember much about him. I was only eight years old when he died. The two things that stick out about him when I think back are the snowcream he use to make for us and the white leather belt he always wore. I also remember the smell of his cologne .    Even though I was young I knew that he was a very rugged and tough man. I also knew that he was very loving . Aside from my own memories I grew up hearing stories from my father and uncle about him. Thanks to them I know so much more about the man he was. The following pages are of those stories as well as the actual history he lived through that made him into the man he was. Accompanied with the stories are photos my father has gathered of him during that particular era of his life. I hope you enjoy this small attempt to recall my grandfather and the time in which he lived. Please continue to visit as the pages are updated and the collection of history grows.
