Luther Masingill

My name is Robert Jones but I was known to everyone as Bobby Jones. I used to listen to Luther all the time while I was growing up. I also graduated from Central High in the early 50's and joined the Army soon after graduation. I took basic training at Camp Gordon Georgia. I was shipped out to Ft. Leonard Wood Missouri shortly after but I remember on morning as I was getting ready for the days training I turned on my radio and there was Luther on WDEF all the way from Chattanooga. I remember...

I was in first grade at Jefferson Street Elementary School in 1955. Mr. Masingill came to the school at lunchtime with a TV crew and led the students and teachers in prayer. I never forgot that.

My name is Creighton Coffey, Baby Son of Nolan David Coffey President of
Auto Electric Magneto Inc. Luther had his White Ford Truck repaired at my Father's business. He knew people in the business and trusted our work.Luther had mannerisms that my Father used as well. My Father and Luther did familiarizing features too. When I think of Luther, I remember my dad as well. My Father born 1918 died at age 93. A missed blessed soul to both of you. May God bless.
