This is part two of Becky's family memories-NOT anything about Burnard Vessell

PART TWO:

One big plus from working for the airlines was that I was able to fulfill one of my dreams and go to Paris. As it turns out, I was able to go twice. The first time on a tour and the second time with my friend Kathy. We also went to Mexico City, and to London. The best part, however, was being able to take Mother to Europe. Another friend of mine, Jan Boyea, Mother and I went on a tour of Lisbon, Madrid, Milan, and Rome. It was marvelous. Mother had more fun than either of us and NEVER got tired. She was always ready to see something or someplace new. Her only regret was that Daddy wasn't with us to see it too. Daddy wouldn't go that far away. He said he traveled enough to last a life time. He was quite content with going to San Francisco every now and then. I think secretly he felt the same way about flying that I came to feel in later years. Only seeing Sonny, Joan and the kids made it worth it to him. He just enjoyed the fact that Mother got to travel and see the world.

Growing up in our house was fun. There was always something going on, somthing to do, and somebody to play with. I was blessed not only with a big family, but also with the very best friend ever. Our next-door neighbor, Flo Johnson, told Mother one day that she was pregnant. Mother told her she sure was glad it was Flo and not her. Rita Kaye Johnson was born on September 6, 1946, six weeks later, October 11, 1946, I was born. She's been my "other sister" ever since. Flo and Wilma were best friends, so it just naturally followed that Rita and I would be too. And we were, and are, and ever shall be. She was and is part of our family.

Our family's time together isn't just on vacation, bur also birthdays and holidays. A birthday party was always a family time, and Christmas was wild. Even after everybody got married, Christmas night was family night. We never needed much of an excuse to get together, everybody loved it. Even Jan Boyea, who came from a very wealthy family, was always telling me how jealous she was of my family because we were so close. Just goes to show you, you can't buy everything.

With the family odds of good mate choosing running 4 out of 4, I should have known that I was going to be the one to bomb out. John Vessell was the exact opposite of me and so, of course, I fell for him. The year and a half we were married doesn't even rank as being fit for this book. Suffice it to say the only good part came on the day after I left him. I left him one night, went home, got up the next day and filed for divorce, and Gene was born that night. The year and a half of misery was worth it, the joy came back a million times over.

I'm sitting on the screen porch writing this and remembering a time when I was little, the screens were all out and we used the porch to skate on. Mother was always afraid we would fall off, but I don't think we ever did. Most of us, except Cris, never got hurt seriously. That doesn't mean we never did stupid things that could have gotten us hurt.

Flo and Guy raised chickens in their back yard and one day Mother went out on the back porch and saw Rita's brothers, Robert and Wendell, and Bill each holding onto a chicken in each hand by it's feet. They were on top of their garage, fixing to jump off. They wanted to see if they could fly!

Flo also had feather mattresses she had gotten from the farm, and periodically she would put them out on quilts in the sunshine to air out. She usually put them out on the side yard next to our driveway, right under the upstairs window. Mother was in the kitchen and looked out just as the same three culprits were going to jump out of the window onto the mattress. Can you say splat?

We used to go up to Rita's grandparent's farm in Cummings, Georgia for the weekend. One weekend in particular, George, Robert, and Wendell were camping out at the big lake and Rita and I were playing down by the little lake. The creek coming out of the dam behind the little lake ran through some really fine-grained sand. If you stomped around in it the sand got really squishy and mushy. Rita and I got a brilliant idea to trick the boys, and got the whole creekside really mushy. Then we covered it up with pine straw and leaves and washed all the mud off our legs. We waited on the other side of the creek until we heard the boys coming through the woods. We started yelling and screaming "snake!! help!!" The boys came running and fell headfirst into that beautiful slimy mud. We ran. Fast. We made it up to the house and hid behind Grandmother Johnson, who very sternly told them it wasn't nice to chase little girls and to go wash off the mud they were tracking in her kitchen. For such a tiny little person, not even five feet tall, she could be mighty scary. After they stomped out, we all three had a good laugh. She was great fun. We stuck very close to her for the rest of the weekend.

When we went to Cedartown and stayed at Aunt Lillian's house, I know Linda and Ruth Ellen hated me. I was always the odd one out, they were the same age. Bill and Roy were close, and there was me, then Cris. Uncle Horace took up a lot of time with us and we went for long walks with him. We loved going to the Ten Cent Store that Uncle Horace owned. We always got candy and games. Linda and Ruth Ellen played dolls and always stuck me with the ones they didn't like. But I got even with them, I went whining to Roy and he would make them play with me. Ruth Ellen and Linda being the same age were also close to the same size, so when Ruth Ellen outgrew her clothes, she handed them down to me, so I always had the clothes that Mother made me, plus the ones that Linda and Ruth Ellen both outgrew. Ruth Ellen went to the lake with us many time, most memorable, of course, was the "tomato sandwich" year. She was a very good swimmer and helped me a lot. To this day, I can't swim, only dog-paddle, but at least I'm not scared to get out in the water and have fun. Just give me a good ski belt and I'm good to go.

We never had a lot of money so we made up for it by having a lot of family get togethers. I can only remember one birthday party with just friends, and it wasn't as much fun as a family party. Linda and I had a Halloween Birthday party together when I was about seven or eight. It was a costume party and lots of fun. We have several pictures of it. The family party was better.

When I was in high school in my junior year, Headland was in the state AAA basketball championships, in fact, we won that year. We played down at Tech's Colliseum. Mini skirts had just come in style, but were called "knee ticklers" ( they came to the middle of the kneecap). The group of girls I ran around with were all going to go to the game together and wear knee ticklers. I didn't have the money to go out and buy one, so I made one. It was green and black herringbone pleated wool. I was very proud of it and when it came time to leave I started out the door and Daddy called me back inside and wanted to know "where do you think you're going dressed like that 'Little Lady?'" Of course that was like the kiss of death, you just didn't argue with Daddy. However, I went upstairs and changed into a "respectable" skirt, stuffed the knee tickler into a big pocketbook, showed Daddy I looked decent, and went out the door. I changed in the back of Rita's stationwagon going down the expressway. Later I asked Mother if they ever found out what I did. She laughed and said of course, Flo told her about it the next day. I never did hear anything about it from Daddy, I guess he thought if I was crazy enough to change clothes in the car I deserved to wear the skirt.

There were fourteen girls that ran around together in school. We called ourselved the "Dodos." A lot of them were pretty well-off even if we weren't. We always had a spend-the-night party on Friday night, and strangely enough, they all preferred to come to mine and Rita's house. Our basement has always flooded when it rained heavily and before Daddy put the electric pump in it could get pretty hectic. One night in particular, it was raining like crazy and the water was coming in faster than the little hose could get it out. Mother and Daddy finally had to ask us to help. We were sitting around listening to records and were a little bored, so they all jumped to it. Even though I knew it was winter and if the water got up past the pilot light, the furnace would shut off, I didn't want to let the girls know we had a basement that flooded. They didn't. They all had full daylight basements with playrooms and dens in them. Never leaked a drop. None ever flooded. But they never thought a thing about it. We formed a bucket brigade up the steps and dipped out the basement and poured the water in the tub. They sang and told jokes and had a marvelous time. I kept my mouth shut, and was mortified. HOWEVER, whenever I see any of the old gang, the first thing they say is "Hey, remember the night we dipped out your basement? That was the best time we ever had!" And after all these years, I have to admit, it was fun.

For a long time I was jealous of Daddy. That sounds a little strange, I know, but Daddy had a habit of "capturing" my friends. Or so I thought, they always seemed to get in long conversations with him and I got a little (a lot) jealous. It took me a while to realize that they enjoyed his stories and experiences just as much as I did. Daddy never talked down to them, he treated them like they were adults and they loved it. I was always being told what fun it was to come to my house, because their parents just ignored them. I guess it never dawned on me because Mother and Daddy may have made me mad or frustrated, but they certainly never ignored me. We always had somebody to talk or argue with or just be with.

We always had pets of some type or another. We had a beautiful gold cocker spaniel named "Prissy." Somebody stole her and she tried to run away and got killed. We had one of her puppies, "Pepper", that liked to eat morning glories. At that time, Daddy wouldn't let us have dogs in the house, except to stay in the basement when it got very cold in the winter. But after Pepper died, I decided I wanted a poodle. I went to get her, and Rita, Linda, Clif, and Eugene went with me. When we broughther back to the house, we decided the best thing to do was to just put her inside the house and then I could take them home. When I went in with her, Daddy was laying on the sofa watching TV. I put "Inky" inside the door and left. When I got home, Daddy was still on the sofa, the only difference was, Inky was on the sofa with him, and from then on, she was his dog, not mine.

When I married, I left Inky with Mother and Daddy and I was given a Lhasa Apso, named "Keta." I kept her until we had to have her put to sleep. She was diabetic, and I had to give her insulin shots. Then we got parakeets. We ended up with six of them. Complete with nests. They layed a lot of eggs but none ever hatched. It sounded like a jungle when you called our house. Then Gene decided he was tired of them, so we gave them away and got a kitten, "Rufus", named after Eugene. Rufus is the only cat in the world with a tell-tale-tail. He will sit perfectly still and ignore you, except for his tail. The more you talk to him, the wilder he thrashes his tail. We decided he needed a wife, so we got "Roxie." Of course, very soon after we got Roxie, we also got "Magic", "Snowflake", "Louie", and "Silk." Six must be our lucky number.

One year on vacation at the lake, the "kids", Gene, Allen, and Mark, had not been catching any fish and were pretty disappointed, so Mother and I decided it would be fun to take them over to the trout farm. It was just after lunch and all the SERIOUS fishermen were resting from their morning excursions and making plans for their evening trips. When they heard what was being planned, they decided it would be fun to go along and WATCH. We had to go in several cars. The trout farm was located way back off the road in a secluded little shady valley. We got the cane poles and cans of corn and proceeded to let the kids fish. Everybody else was sitting in the shade watching. Pretty soon, Cris, Peggy, and Pop got up and started walking round the pond, JUST LOOKING. Then Mike, David, Christie, and Bill got in the act. They started pointing out the bigger fish to try for, and shortly the GROWNUPS had the poles and were just SHOWING THEM HOW TO CATCH THE FISH. Gene. Allen, and Mark ended up sitting in the shade watching everbody else catch fish. Unfortunately, when you fish at the trout farm, they charge by the pound, and the fishing trip for the KIDS cost over $25.00!

Our family has grown up and grown to the point that only three of our houses are big enough to gather in. We still like to have big parties, although it is begining to get a little difficult to get everybody there. Families and jobs keep expanding and moving and enlargeing but that just makes it a bigger and BETTER family.

I remember one of the big ice and snow storms we had. I'm not sure what year it was, but it was after Daddy died and Gene was still little. I still worked at Republic and was working a 5 am shift. We had gotten weather reports periodically and knew that a front was coming in from the west. Birmingham had already gotten three inches of snow, but the weathermen still were saying that Atlanta was going to miss it.

Notes for WILMA REBECCA SURLS:

In 1979, I began my family history research in earnest and carried on a correspondence with Clyde R. Surls, a "cousin" whom we were at that time unable to find the connection. Hopefully, we will be able to recontact his family and add to the connections.

COPY OF LETTER FROM CLYDE R SURLS TO BILL SURLS

Clyde R Surls

6938 E Willeta St

Scottsdale, Az 85257

Dear Bill,

I must say I was pleasantly surprised to get your letter a few days ago. No, I hadn't given up on hearing from you: I never give up on any mail I send out. I know how easy it is to lay a letter aside and discover it months later. I've done it too.

Thanks so much for the chart and for the interesting sidelights regarding some of your ancestors. True, there aren't many places and dates after the first couple of generations, but it's a start.

With the chart which you sent, I now have seven Surls branches, with just one connection between two of them. So far I have been unable to trace far enough in any branch to find an immigrant.

I am quite interested in your Surls line because of it's proximity to another that was sent to me about three years ago. In that family, the earliest ancestor was born in Tennessee about 1794-5. He was 55 in the 1850 census. Three subsequent generations lived near Pulaski, Tn and I notice that Pulaski is not too far from your area. Perhaps there could be some connection between that line and yours.

During the past several years I have discovered some 32 different listings for Surls in the telephone directories across the country, not including my own relatives. I have written to 22 of them and had replies from 6 of them. I am convinced of one thing: there are not many of us in captivity. We have a very rare surname, and I would certainly like to find out whence we came.

Something else interests me. In my list of 32 Surls families, I have a Joseph P Surls of Atlanta. Is he your father? Also, I discovered a few years ago in "Who's Who in Science", a Dr. Joseph P. Surls, Jr, of Walnut Creek, Ca. would he be your brother? And is Mamie Surls of Smyrna and aunt or sister? Is Russell G Surls of Atlanta a relative of yours?

Do you think it would be possible, Bill, that some elderly relative might be able to furnish places and dates for some of your earlier generations?

Would you be at all interested in seeing charts for the seven Surls families that I mentioned? I could xerox them and send you copies, if you would like them.

Bill, I was in the service in WWII, but in the Navy, so it was not I that your father met at Ft Knox.

One of my correspondents, Dr Joseph K Surls, of St Petersburg, Fl (who before his retirement, was the only Surls listed in Metropolitan New York City) told me that he had met, during WWII, Maj Gen Alexander D Surles, then in charge of special services. They apparently resembled one another and were descended from ancestors from the same area of Ohio, although they apparently did not establish a very firm connection.

I have not heard from Dr Joe for nearly two years, perhaps he is deceased, he was over 80 yrs old when last I heard from him.

Perhaps those of us who spell our name Surls are somehow related to those who use Surles. The "E" was probably added or subtracted somewhere alone the line.

Do you have the problem of having your name misspelled by nearly everyone? I make it a point to spell it out whenever I have to give it to someone.

Dr Joe told me that those who spell their names Searls or Searles were Scottish and migrated through Nova Scotia.

Bill, if you find any new info, please let me know, and if I can send you somthing, let me know that too.

I guess that is about all that I have to say for now. Again, let me say how glad I was to get your letter. Even if we are in no way related, there is still something special about sharing a rare surname.

I hope to hear from you again soon.

Sincerely,

Clyde

(Bill passed the letter on to me and I contacted Clyde- the beginning of a very fruitful corresponcence)

 

LETTER FROM CLYDE R SURLS TO BECKY VESSELL;

Thursday, May 24, 1979

Dear Potential Cousin,

I'll start this reply to your letter this evening, but I suspect it will have to be continued and undoubtfully by the time I'm finished, it will be a tome.

First, I want to express my appreciation for your very most informative letter. It's so gratifying to discover someone who seems to be as interested as I am in tracking down that elusive common immigrant ancestor. Also, many thanks for filling in some of the blanks in your family chart which Bill had sent to me earlier.

My interest in genealogy was triggered some twelve years ago when our eldest son, Ray, was a highschool sophomore. He was given a "family tree" assignment by his American History teacher and at that time we barely knew a few basic statistics about our grandparents. With a little we were able come up with a rather amateurish chart for several ancestral lines and the boy received a good mark for his work.

I have access to the LDS Library in nearby Mesa, and was able to trace the Surls line to Pennsylvania where I hit the pervervial blank wall.

My maternal lines went much better, and they turned out to be very rewarding. My given name comes from my mother's maiden name, and the Clydes came through New Englandm where of course, there are countless town histories and other valuable records.

The Clydes line intersected a Pierce line (related to our 14th President), and the Pierce line intersected a Whitney line (related to Eli), and the Whitney line was traceable to England where it tied into royalty and the whole thing explodeed into more information than I can chart in a lifetime.

But all that certainly didn't do anything to solve the problem of whence came G Surls of Pennsylvania! As I mentioned in our telephone conversation, the response to my mailings to phone books Surlses was disappointing. Two or three people sent what little they had. A couple of folks answered an ad which I had placed in the "Helper" asking to hear from any Surls anywhere.

From these meager replies came the information which appears on the enclosed sheets. I hope you will find these charts interesting and please accept them with my compliments. One big plus in this whole enterprise is being able to share with others. I have also enclosed a copy of my letter to Dr Joseph Kiddoo Surls and his reply. I hope that Bob of Pittsburgh will be able to supply us more on his particular line.

Carol and I were both born and raised in Elkhart, Indiana. We left there in 1958 with four little kids and relocated in Scottsdale, where we gained two native Arizonians.

We had lived here about two years when we recieved several long distance telephone calls for a Surls whom we did not know, and we even received a piece of mail for him in error, since he lived on Willetta St, but in Phoenix. Anyway, old "dummie" Clyde didn't pursue this person and by the time I became interested in our scarce surname, the individual had left the valley. Your half-brother Joe didn't happen to pass through here on his way to California did he? I don't even remember the given name of the person. Dumb. Dumb.

As of June 4th I will have worked as a design draftsman for Airseach Mfg. Co. of Phoenix for twenty years. I have done some work on hardware for the C141 and C5A aircraft which Bill has probably been involved with at Lockheed, Marietta.

Carol has sold Tupperware and toys at home parties, worked at our grammar school cafeteria, at a local supermarket, at a local motel and is currently employed in the cafeteria of one of our Morotola plants.

Ray graduated from Arizona State with a degree in theater arts and works for films throughout the Southwest.

Jacquie has been married for nearly six years and lived in Bellevue, Washington, where her husband is in the construction business with his father. She has given us a granddaughter and has a brother or sister on order for June 22.

Rick graduated from Los Angeles Baptist College with a degree in Physical Education. He is now athletic director at Woodland Christian School in Woodland, California where his wife Becky teaches third grade.

Randy was married last month in Montana adn he and his bride live just a few blocks from Rick and Becky. Randy works in construction and does part time short order cooking at a restaurant and Helen is a waitress at another establishment.

Janet is in Singapore for two years.

Ron will graduate from high school next week and when he goes away to college next fall, we will be alone.

Well, Becky, that should be enough rambling for this time. Please keep me informed if you learn anything new concerning our mutual endeavor.

Sincerely,

Clyde Surls

P. S. I just learned from a telephone conversation with my mother this morning that my first cousin, once removed, Fred Surls , who is a specialist in the Chinese language with the State Department is interestedin genealogy. They live in Virginia near Washington D.C. and should be in a good position to visit the National Archives and the library of Congress, etc. Here's the clincher: the daughter's name is BECKY.

"THE BOX OF RELICS FROM DR JOSEPH KIDDOO SURLS"

Glenda McCoy advertised in the "Genealogical Helper" that she had come across a box of "relics" from a Dr Joseph Kiddoo Surls in an auction. She felt that someone with a Surls surname would possibly find the pictures , letters, postcards, etc. helpful in tracing their family history, so she offered this box to whoever seemed to be the closest relative or had the closest tie to him. Daddy wrote to her and she picked us out as having the closest tie. Although we have not been able to positively tie into this linem it does give us some interesting clues, and eventually we will be able to connect everyone.

LETTER FROM GLENDA MCCOY TO JOSEPH P SURLS SR:

July 13, 1978

Glenda E McCoy

4291 Vincente St

Fremont, Ca 94536

Dear Mr Surls:

Needless to say I was pleased to hear from a Surls descendant, whether directly related to my Joseph Surls or not. I have received two other replys to my ad in the "Helper" but at this time feel you are the most closely related.

I plan to pack the materials I have in my possession for shipment as soon as I can determine the best method of shipment at the least cost. (I just realized the spelling errors, it's late and we've just come home from vacation. Please just bear with me!)

Though I will ship this material to you, I hope you will be willing to share with the others who have written me about this information. It is difficult to decide who should receive what when you have more than one response! Mrs Henry Chancy, 811 N 7th St, Mary's Kansas, 66536 has a William and Joseph Surls in her husband's line and would like information to compile a book. I am sending her a copy of this letter in the hopes that perhaps you may share in this wonderful endeavor.

I received a letter from Mrs Olive O'Neal, Box 237, Westmorland, Ca 92281 inquiring about the Kiddoo line. Since Joseph Kiddoo Surls in the material I have might tie into her research I am making copies of the pertinent material to send to her. Perhaps you may wish to correspond further with her.

The cartons for shipment are heavy and if you have preference as to how they arrive, please write with your instructions and how you care to arrange for reimbursement of costs ($10.00 plus shipment cost).

I did receive a phone call from Mrs Marshall Brucer, 5334 Via Celeste, Tucson, Arizona 85718 regarding the Leavengood surname found in some of this material. She indicated that if I/we couldn't determine wherre this information should be sent she could help us with it's distribution to the closest relative or organization.

Hoping to hear from you soon,

Sincerely,

Glenda E McCoy

St Petersburg, Fl 33711

Dear Dr Surls:

I have been recent correspondence with your cousin Bob Surls, of Pittsburgh, and he has suggested that I contact you regarding our common surname.

My interest in the Surls name has caused me to become self-appointed family historian for my particular branch of the family tree. Research into family records and investigations into federal census returns have led me to a George Surls, who appeared in Tyrbot Twp Northumberland Co, Pennsylvania, prior to 1800. I believe him to be my great-great-grandfather. At about the same period in history, there appeared in Dublin Twp, Bedford Co, Pennsylvania, a John Surls, whom I believe to have been George's brother. Both Christian names, George and John, recurred in later generations in my ancestry.

Do you have any records of your branch of the family which tie in with either of the above mentioned gentlemen, or do you have any information that would indicate who the immigrant ancestor of the Surls people of America might have been?

Several years ago I saw your name in the Manhattan telephone directory, and was surprised you were the only Surls listed in the New York area. Then I realized just how scarce we are.

My goal is to trace the Surls name as far back as feasible. I assume that the spelling has been revised many times, and have often wondered if those who spell their names Surlesm Searles, or Searls are all descended from a common ancestor.

Please write to me at your convenience, Doctor. I shall be most anxious to hear from you.

With best wishes,

Clyde R Surls

November 24, 1972

Dear Cousin Clyde,

Please excuse my using the back of your letter. I can't get any proper paper right now.

Yes, I am sure all the Surls or Surles people are cousins. The Searles people are not. They came from Nova Scotia to Massachusetts, I believe. In the Second World War, people began to ask whether Major General Allen Surls was a cousin, so I stopped to ask him, in Washington.

We even looked alike, so it was not necessary to ask. He said, "My family came from East Liverpool, Ohio" . I said. "so does mine." He said, "And we got a Congressional Medal in the Civil War." I said, "so did we."

I'll write you more at a later date.

With thanks for your trouble and my best regards, I remain,

Your Cousin,

Joe Surls

BECKY'S FAMILY MEMORIES

I guess the most remarkable thing about our family is exactly that---FAMILY. We've always been extremely close.

Daddy was a "traveling salesman", working for Motor Parts & Supply Company. He drove a truck and Mother always said she could hear the truck when it turned onto Kimmeridge. He was always gone overnight on Monday, usually staying with JW and Mildred, but sometimes with Aunt Lillian and Uncle Horace. Sometimes in the summer we would go to the drive-in when he was gone, but it wasn't unusual for us to all pile in the car and drive to Cedartown for the night too.

We had the first television in our neighborhood. A ten inch black and white Zenith. On Saturday morning all the neighborhood kids would come over and watch the serials like "Flash Gordon", or "Tim Tyler's Luck" or cartoons at our house.

For a long time we didn't have a car, only Daddy's company truck. The first vacation we had, Daddy borrowed a car from his boss, Charlie Chumskie, and we went to Florence, South Carolina, to visit Uncle Ruffin. Mildred, JW, Cora, and Mamie, Charles, and Ray went in their car. We went to Myrtle Beach and had a great time. Uncle Ruffin, and Aunt Marie didn't go, but our cousins Virginia, and Lina Claire went.

Then Daddy bought a green '49 Chevy and we went to Myrtle Beach for a week. We stayed at the Lucky Strike Hotel on the beach. It was marvelous. We had to come home a day or two early because a big hurricane was coming in. It was exciting, but scary. The surf was terrible. When we got home we learned that the pier and boardwalk where we had so much fun was totally destroyed.

In 1955, on a Friday night, we were at a school carnival where we were to meet Daddy when he got off work. When he came to pick us up, he had traded cars and had a blue and white '55 Chevrolet stationwagon.

Our next big excursion was a week-long camping trip to Lake Blue Ridge. We parked the car and packed our gear into a fishing boat and went five miles up the lake to a beautiful spot in the woods. We fished and sat aroung the campfire, roasted marshmellows, and sang, and had a big time. In order to keep us from straying too far, Daddy told us to be careful, that he had seen some bear tracks close by. Of course, that did the trick and we never went out of sight of the camp (except for Bill, who was "practically grown" and a Boy Scout to boot). It wasn't until much, much later that he told us the tracks he saw were not "bear" tracks, but "bare" tracks. It worked.

In 1957 Daddy won three prizes in a contest sponsored by Fram Oil Filters. He had to guess the number of oil filters sold the previous year, which he submitted for himself and his customers. He won first, second, and fifth prize. He and his customers won duplicate prizes. First prize was a Lincoln green Lincoln Continental Mark V. On the day that he and Mother picked it up, we all stayed home from school and when they got home, we rode by the schools just when everybody was getting out. We thought we were something. We kept it for a few days and Daddy sold it.

Second prize was a Packard Clipper. It was red and cream colored and we kept it for a week and then sold it to Uncle Horace and Aunt Lillian.

As God has a way of looking out for you, it worked out that it was about this time that Cris was hurt by an aerial bomb type firecracker that blew up in his face. He was in the hospital for a long time and had to have plastic surgery. If it had not been for the sale of the two cars and insurance, we would never have had enough money to pay for it.

The thing that really had the most impact was the fifth prize. It was a color tv, but they had just come out at that time and were still pretty much experimental. There weren't many shows in color, so Daddy traded it in for a fourteen foot Kris Kraft boat kit.

That winter and spring, Daddy and his friends, Pat Murphy, "Dink" Hornesby, Lefty Youmans, "Shorty" Powell, and the older boys built the boat in the garage. Mother and the ladies sat on the porch, (and "ran and fetched"), and us smaller kids played chase and caught lightning bugs. Mother and Linda made the cushions for the boat.

I'll never forget the first time we put the boat in the water at Victoria Landing on Lake Alatoona. We had only a 15 hp motor and no windshield, but the "Little Darling" was the prettiest boat on the lake. Daddy got the windshield and a 30 hp Mercury Motor and our lives changed forever.

We went camping at Alatoona as often as possible. The Hornesbys, Murphys, and Powells together. We skied, fished and had a great time.

Also began our 27 year tradition of going to Lake Chatugue, at Hiawassee, in the North Georgia mountains. The whole family went, friends too. It was nothing for us to have 6 or 7 cabins in a row. We make lots of friends too, with other families that went up the same time each year. We always had church service on Sunday morning usually with Pop preaching, but in later years, Keith preached also. Mike played bagpipes, Mother or Linda played the "tote-a-tune", and everybody sang. It was beautiful to hear Mike play "Amazing Grace" on the bagpipes and hear it echoing through the mountains.

Mother taught Linda how to drive while we were at the lake, on a straight-shift, on mountain roads, in the rain. It was a religious experience.

One year, it rained almost constantly and every time we got down to the dock and got the cover off the boat, it would start raining again and we'd have to put the cover back on and go back up to the cabin. But that was the week of the "tomato sandwiches". Our cousin, Ruth Ellen, was with us that year. We ate tomato sandwiches and played Hearts and Spades and still had a great time. I still think about it everytime I eat a tomato sandwich. Such fun.

Then there was the "Year of the White Bass". Cris, Brian, and I had gone out early fishing and hadn't had too much luck. It was getting about time to head in for breakfast and I was a little tired and disgusted so I was flipping my rod around and generally acting obnoxious. We were near "Grassy Island", a very small island with just grass on it. Just barely sticking out of the water. Cris told me to cast off the point, he was sure there was a fish there.( Daddy, Cris, Bill, and Eugene were always good at that.) So I did and told him I was caught on a rock. He was just starting to turn the boat around when I realized that I was "caught" on a smallmouth bass! Of course, that just set me on fire and I was ready to stay for the duration. We had just got the boat back away from the idland and were finishing getting our rods set up and were pretty much just sitting there for a minute, when suddenly, a huge circle formed around the boat. It was really weird, there were fish jumping and flipping and going crazy all around us! Cris yelled out "Oh my gosh!, It's White Bass! Cast in!" We could have just put a sign on the boat----"Fish Jump in Boat Here!" It was a blast.

The big schools of fish only lasted a few years and then began to taper off, but while they lasted they sure were exciting.

Mother and I had a "White Bass Experience". One evening we wanted to go out fishing but everybody else was too tired so we went out together. We went down to the dock and were getting our things ready to leave and talked to some college boys for a few minutes. They were going fishing later and seemed very amused to see two women going out alone. It was fairly obvious that they didn't think too much of our chances of catching fish. They helped us untie the boat and pushed us out from the dock and wished us luck. We were gone about 45 minutes. We went down to Big Island near the dam and were just casting out and talking, when the biggest school I've ever seen came up around us. We were both catching fish so fast, I couldn't get them on the stringer fast enough and had them flipping around on the floor (deck) of the boat. Finally I just sat in the back seat and took them off of one rod while Mother was catching one on the other one. One bass boat with two men in it came flying up, but when they saw us, they just stopped a ways out and watched. Another one came up too, but the guys in the first boat waved them back and they all just sat and watched. When the school went away finally and we sat back to get our breath, the guys in both boats got up and saluted us and left. We had at least two fish on each hook of the stringer and three on some of them. If there was a limit on them we had probably gone way over. We got everything in order and headed on back to the dock, where the college boys were just fixing to leave. They laughed and came over to help us tie up the boat and one of them asked why we came back so quick, "didn't we have any luck?" Their eyes almost popped out of their heads when it took both of us to pick up the stringer. Then we had to show them what kind of lures to use ("little cleos"), how to cast out, and what to look for. It was the "two women's" turn to laugh.

We went shooting up on the mountain side, we drove over to Gatlingburg, we climbed Brasstowne Bald Mountain, we went ruby mining in Franklin, North Carolina, and we went over to Helen, Georgia on the other side of the mountain. When we first started going to Chatugue, we stopped at Robertstown, by the Chattahoochee River. We went wading and played on the swinging bridge, then we'd go over to Unicoi State Park and walk up to the falls. When we first went there, there were only foot trails up to the falls, but after several years the Park Service really improved the trails, putting benches, bridges and overlooks along the way.

When we went by Mount Yonah, Daddy always had to tell us the story of the Indian Princess and the young brave from another tribe that fell in love and when they were not allowed to marry. they jumped off the side of the mountain together.

One of the best times at the lake was at night, down on the dock. Everybody would get down on the dock and fish, but mostly we cut up and told jokes and acted crazy. We's stay out late on the dock and then sit on the porch and rock and drink coffee.

But back to being little again. For a long time I was the baby and was very spoiled. I had a long white satin nightgown that I called by "angel gown," and I was Daddy's angel. I would stand behind his rocking chair and brush his hair for what seemed like hours. Then Cris came along and I was so jealous it was pitiful. There aren't many pictures of Cris as a baby that didn't have some part of my body sticking out in it. It probably wasn't until Cris got hurt that I actually got over being jealous of him and went to the other extreme and started spoiling him rotten.

I don't remember too much about Sonny getting married. Suddenly he was. The first I was really aware of it was when he was bringing her home to meet us. When I was little, he was so tall, he was like and idol that your watched go by in total awe. I knew that anybody he picked out would be special and she was. After all, she was from somplace far away-California. She talked different from us and her mannerisms were different. I was totally fascinated. She was the perfect match for an "idol." Enter Joan Ellen Baker Surls.

We didn't get to see much of Sonny and Joan for a long time. Sonny is a nuclear physicist for Dow Chemical Company and stayed very busy. It seems that every time we talked about driving our to see them, something happened and we didn't have enough money to go. But then I went to work for Southern Airways and things changed. We flew out to see them several times, and if I never got anything else from the 17 1/2 years I worked there, it was worth it for Mother and Daddy to get to make those trips.

I remember when Linda and I were little, playing dressup. She was Mrs Jones and lived upstairs, and I was Mrs Smith, and lived downstairs. Then suddenly she was Mrs Stell, and lived away. I missed her so much I cried for days. When she and Eugene told Mother and Daddy they had gotten married, Mother just sat and cried too. Daddy talked to them for a long time, and then Mother asked "Aren't you going on a honeymoon?" They went to Chattanooga and then Eugene had to report back to the Saratoga. He was in the Navy. Linda was 15 and Eugene was 21. It seems like one minute we were little and playing and the next minute she was grown and married. Enter Rufus Eugene Stell, Jr. Another brother!

Mother was always kind of funny about what we called her. The only one of us that ever got away with calling her anything else but "Mother" was Cris, and sometimes he called her "Momma." She couldn't stand "Mommy." When Brian was born and started talking, she was determined not to be "Mammaw" or "Granny" or anything remotely like that. I remember her sitting with Brian on her knee and she would very seriously look him hin the eye and say "Brian, say GRANDMOTHER." Brian would just as seriously look her in the eye and say, "NA-NA." So, "Nana" it was and "Nana" it stayed.

Bill didn't date a lot of different girls and only went steady with one that I remember, Trina Christian, who lived across the street. He was awfully picky (thank goodness). When he went away to college and came home on weekends, he began to mention on girl in particular, her nickname was "Miss Legs." We went up to North Georgia for Parent's Day and to meet her. Bill told us that we would know her as soon as we saw her, she was the prettiest girl there and had the smallest waist of any girl he'd ever known. When we saw her walking across the field we knew immediately it was her. Daddy grinned, patted Mother on the shoulder, and said, "Sweet, I think that's our new daughter, don't you?" Tears came up in Mother's eyes and she smiled and said yes. Enter Marian Karen Weaver Surls, my quiet, softspoken, gentle, graceful, sister-in-law.

Cris dated several girls, none of which I liked except Peggy and when he took me aside and asked to borrow the money for an engagement ring, I jumped on it. Her name being Peggy Anne Clack, Daddy promptly nicknamed her "Clickety." Unfortunately, Cris and Peggy broke up and he dated a real witch for a time. I really hated her, fortunately they broke up and for a time, Cris was the loneliest guy in town. He played his guitar, sang and just sat around and moped. Peggy had stayed close to me and Mother and so one weekend we planned a trip to Gatlingburg. Mother, Linda, and Peggy drove to Knoxville and Kathy Burke and I flew up and met them there when we got off work. Then we all drove over to Gatlinburg. We were all pretty tired when we got there, so Mother and Linda went to sleep, but Kathy, Peggy, and I sat in the floor of the bathroom and talked for hours. Mostly we talked about Cris. We convinced her to call him even if it was 3 am. She did and they talked for a long time and made a date with him as soon as we got back. They went to Stone Mountain and when they got back they were engaged again. Enter my boistrous, fun-loving, pretty, sister-in-law, Peggy Anne Clack Surls.

End of Part One- Part Two is under Burnard Vessell- it has nothing to do with him, but I need the space, guess he was good for something after all.
