Best storyteller. Best painter, but sometimes a little off with a hammer, especially in barns. A really good teacher and friend. I don't know if it was an act, but it was highly entertaining to see him instantly transform from self-confident, independent master to a docile, submissive husband when Betty called. I think it was his way of avoiding some imaginary trouble and of keeping his good fortune in finding her. Ditto Eva Creeks.
