Raymond 'Jack' Hilton said: My Uncle Charlie raised mules and was very proud of them. Charlie's brother, Ed, would get mules from him and then complain that they were no good. Ed could count on Charlie getting pretty worked up. Charlie's eyes were so sensitive to light and he had to put his hands over his eyes when he went outside. Now we know this was because of cataracts, easily fixable today. When he was a boy, Raymond used to go over to Charlie's farm to help him out, and Charlie would walk along in front of him and 'accidentally' drop pennies on the ground. Needless to say, Charlie could always count on his help.
