September, 1942......

The war was not quite a year old, not that I really remember of course but that was the year I started school....we lived next door to the Bradley’s in a little shotgun style house that has since been torn down...... There was a road, the railroad tracks ‘n a field that was crisscrossed by numerous paths, one of which led to the school......Fullerton Elementary, where I went to the first ‘n second grades....
Reba Warnock lived next door to the school in a tall victorian....she was prob’ly born there because way back in 1937 most children were born at home...anyway ‘n even tho’ I don’t remember, that would have been when I first met Reba ‘n most of the other people that I consider my friends t’day......
Reba married my cousin, Richard, in ‘56 I think...I don’t recall how long they were married but they divorced ‘n Richard ended up in California...
Reba died suddenly in October ‘n Richard died three weeks later.....
