Q: How did you meet Nellie?
A: We spent time with Uncle Doc and Aunt Nellie during the summer my 5th grade year. I’ll never forget going fishing up there, our second trip within a year or so, with my Papaw, Mamaw, (Aunt Nellie’s sister, Ina) and all the family. We went to a paid lake, my first time ever being to one. We would cast our lines with two hooks and no faster than the line hitting the water reel back in with 2 fish. Then followed up with a fish fry. Also, I remember her breakfast being so delicious when we stayed there, her handmade biscuits were so good. Her and Doc were so kind and had great sense of humor, seemed like they lived life to the fullest.
