I love this story! I hear that its not a bad jail to be in. I knew a couple of supervisors from south Ms that got busted back in the 90's that served their time there.they're families would go down for the weekends etc. They were very well though of and had the money too.

I'm glad Kurt added this forum so these don't get lost amidst other threads.

Daddy hated being compared to Elvis. After all, Elvis sang rock-n-roll (the devil's music). Daddy liked to sing with Pops McCormick and Marti Robbins.

In classic form, Daddy went AWOL again Thursday morning at 1:00 AM. We were suppose to bring him home to spend his final days surrounded by the children and grandchildren he loved so dearly. So, just as we all prepared for him to come, he slipped out of this world in the middle of the night. He went to heaven to see his parents, but I hope that he wasn't planning on making a surprise entrance...after all everybody knows that you can't sneak up on Romeo.
