I guess the thing here is to catch up on a lot of years. There's not
enough time or room, so I'll just hit the highlights. I live in Hazlehurst,
about 40 miles south of Jackson. I have nine grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
My main hobby is genealogy. I have a web page at http://www.angelfire.com/journal2/familygen
where you can see all about all my family and my roots, at least what I
have found to date.
That's the present, now for the past. William and I were married September
16, 1965 at Grace Church, which I'm sure most of you know. We moved to New
Orleans and lived there for about seven months, then came back to Jackson.
William joined the Army shortly after that, so we traveled a bit. We lived
in Kansas, Colorado, and California. When he did his tour of duty in Viet
Nam, we went to Hawaii for R & R. We had a home built ten miles southeast
of Brandon and lived there for a few years. Later we moved to Richland and
lived there for about a year and then we devorced, November 8, 1983. We
reuninted in 1990 and I've been here since then.
This photo is William and our last grandchild Elijah. William owns
a truck and hauls loads for Kllm. He likes to hunt and fish when he's not
working. It's like a ritual every year to get ready for Dove hunting and Deer
hunting. As you can see, we haven't gone hungry. William has graciously allowed
me to care for my mother here for the last seven years. She is Ninty-Five
as of September 13.
Jenette has four children and two grandchildren. From left to right, Dana,
Dawn, Danielle and Deanna. Dawn's husband is in the Army and they live in
Washington State. Danielle and her husband live in Pearl. Danielle has two children, Daniel and Logan.
Daniel is four years old.
Joy now lives in Pearl, Ms. Marilena, on the

2, Adam, center, is 10. Wesley is 14. Wesley has Downs
syndrone, and has two open heart surgerys.
Ronald, my son was killed in 1995 when a car he was working on fell.
He was Twenty Three when he died. Needless to say, the heartache never
ends.
