North Carolina:


Dad told me that when they got to North Carolina all they had was his foot locker, my high chair, my bed & whatever else that was for me.  They found a furniture store and the man there sold Mom & Dad furniture that was his and he did it on time payments.  Dad said that if it hadn't been for him, they just might not have had furniture.


I'm sure Nannie & Papa would have taken care of some of that problem when they came to visit - or would have tried to anyway.  Think Dad might have been a little too stubborn to accept "charity".  Who knows.


I don't really remember much of living there but have a vague memory of being told not to get too close to the water by the club (?) because of alligators.  Know that Mom & Dad made friends there that they kept in touch with for many years.  I really don't remember names but might try to get some info from the folks in July for the combined celebration of Mom's 85th and their 65th anniversary.
