Dad


THE PICTURE OF THE MONTH IS MAMAW GRAY AND MY DAD.

Many of you received a tape cassette from me with the famous telephone call from Dad to Mamaw. She did not know she was being recorded. Dad enjoyed playing tricks like that. The recording is precious. You can get a "read out" fast on both their personalities by their comments.
Dad calls to explain why Papaw is "acting up"
a little and to try to get Mamaw to give him his medicine.
You can play a portion of the tape here.
