I have often thought of Bother Whiteside. He was our preacher at St Marks Methodist in Aberdeen MS. My mother, Irma Stewart, was choir director and great friends with Vivian and both of them really. He was there during my high school years. I´ve looked for his whereabouts previously unsuccessfully. Not surprised he lived to be 102. God Bless andRest in Peace Brother Whiteside!
