Thank You, RENEE!!

Renee, thank you so much! For those of you who don't know who Renee is, she and I grew up together! She is Ms. Yvonne Jones's daughter from Kentwood. She knew Jimmy well and was so nice to fix this album to put on Papa's Place for us. She got these pictures from the Kentwood Kangaroo Album from 1954. Yes, Renee, everyone did like to come to our house because Jimmy was so entertaining. I still remember sitting on the front porch and he would quiz us with questions from the Farmer's Almanac. I didn't know hardly any answers, but he didn't care. He figured if I learned anything at all, it was worth drilling me! Kentwood was a wonderful place to grow up. Jimmy loved our little town and only had praises for it.
