Robert's once beautiful 1968 Ford Futura Station Wagon after being hit head-on by an old Dodge driven by an old fisherman who was sort-of impaired on a sunny morn on US 1 near Islamorada, Fla. in the Keys. I had a little internal bleeding from the seatbelt and one cracked rib from the steering wheel. My treatment during four days in the hospital was to eat a bland diet.

Maurine Williams holding Robert at 9 months at Traskwood, Ark. Mom and Dad were teachers at the school there. Mom had been teaching first grade for several years. She left teaching in Jan. 1931 for sixteen years as she produced two more sons. My brother Carroll was born at Benton, Ark. in June 1934 and our brother James was born at Melbourne, Fla. in Feb. 1941. Mom did work during WWTwo while we lived in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. from March 1942 till July 1946. She returned to teaching in Sept. 1947 and retired in Hialeah, Fla. in 1969.

Robert at 3 months held by mom in June 1931 at Traskwood, Ark. Just a month later she took me on a train to Vero Beach, Fla. to visit her parents and three younger sisters.
