"Detroit- go school a year, then a year Texas.
"I met your Grandma (Josephine) in Trinity. She was a friend of my cousin.
"Used to have Church services at cousin's daddy's place and a small group would meet over there. One day she was there and so was I.
"I used to ride four miles on horseback to see her.
"Later I had a '36 [ ? ] Desoto. My courtin' car. (Laughs) Parked on a hill- had to push it- without a hill it wouldn't run. (Restart)"
Q: What if there were no hills?
A: "Without a hill it didn't run. I just didn't stop it there. It had a battery but it would run down from playing the radio and using the lights. Had to use the hill for safety, otherwise you didn't park."
