Hi Wayne,
You probably don't remember me but your Mother, Billie, was my Godmother. She and Slim were married on the same day as my parents, Bill and Frances Tuten. We lived next to each other in Faulkville, GA for your first years. You are about the same age as my sister, Cindy. I still have pictures of you and Cindy at a water faucet in the front yard of your home. Of course, Slim got a job in NJ (I believe) and you guys moved away...I still remember your mother's thoughtfulness,...
