Sam generally traveled with an entourage of friends. He was
generous and if he needed caps for his pistol he would buy his
friends some too. It was a small-town version of a biker gang,
except the bikes were Schwin and the hair was crew cut.
In the summer his friends would come over and we would play
Monopoly and Sorry. When Mom would come home she would raise
hell about the mess.

When we were younger we would spend much of the summer at the
farm with Grandmother Jackson. We slept in my Mother's room in
a white enameled iron bed with a non-working Philco radio on
the table beside. Aleafy would make sure she bought sticky buns
from the Bond Bread man who came by twice a week. We would also
eat watermelon from the garden on the back porch and watch
Alefy shell beans or churn butter there.
