James Arthur Simpson

Dad once acted in a church performance of "Death of a Salesman" In the play, dad's character was meant to pass away. Dad, however, had other plans. I was pretty young at the time, but my memory of the scene is such that dad "died", flopped around a bit, "died" again, then fell down some stairs and "died" again. Everyone in the audience was hollering in laughter as he hammed it up.
