Was so sorry to hear of Norman's passing. I remember him letting us kids sit in his lap in the jeep and letting us " drive" behind the levee. Also him and Mother taking us to the levee to slide down on cardboard. Also the times we all went to Sears and Howard Griffin's to pick out the toys we wanted Santa to bring us for Christmas. Prayers for the family.
