"I worked on the farm with Papa until I married. I married a girl from the same community. We were neighbors and went to the same school and church. When Ronnie was two years old, I was drafted in the Army. I was sent to Camp Hood TX. After six months I was discharged because I had a family. We went to Idaho and tried the potato business but after a year came home. I went to Shreveport and drove a Yellow cab two years, then worked at the Army Ammunition plant until I retired. I love music, play the guitar and sing."
