Yes, folks meant a lot then. For dom, as the Dutch Forker stayed pretty well to his brier patch. I believe I recall with fondest memory my favorite Colored play mates. Most kids were rather good then, but they were genuiner ly so. They would do anything for us and we for them. They have largely drifted from my knowledge and gone from the Fork. I’d sure like to see Zeke (my favorite) and Chike, and Fawly, and Green. And then there was Henry. He was from a large family. One day I asked him where they slept. He said, “Us got 5 beds, a cradle and a crotch (meaning cot).’’ And then among my white bud dies was, first and foremost, Mar vin. He later lived in Columbia, did all right, and died a few years ago. My, the happy hours, weeks, and years we had together during the carefree days of boyhood! I could write a book about me and Zeke and Marvin. And then there were Mike and Wilbur and Jack and Case, and Harold and Louie, too, who came to our school from acress the creek. If we could get together now I’ll bet we would nev er quit talking. In the after years we make new friends as we go along, adult friends And they, too, are good. But they are never quite like those we had back in our shirttail days, when we swam naked in the creek, feasted on £he wild bounty of the woods, beat out of everything we could that resembled work, and suffered together with starched blouses and shoes on at church on Sundays.
