| Comments:What a great set of folks, and great memories for me!!! Leon Levin ran a grocery store, and his brother, Morris, ran a dry-goods store. Although it was not our main place to shop, we did buy from Leon; Morris's store was our main clothing store until it closed. I can't count the number of times I found myself in there enjoying the air-conditioning system and the never-ending pleasure of looking at my feet in the shoe-fitting fluoroscope (under the loose supervision of Sammy McMillan). This was really high tech--as a little boy, I didn't like to sit still for Mama to draw off a trace of my foot and send it to Sears Roebuck for fitting. I didn't know Morris and Leon's father, Mr. Abe Leon (who brought his family from North Carolina to Berrien Co. in 1914), but he must have been quite an entrepreneur, what with his traveling stores. Mama traded eggs to these mobile stores for cloth, from which she made clothes for Carolyn and Della Faye. Grandpa's farm was not all that far from town and Mr. Abe used to come out and hang out with Grandpa some at the sugar-mill shelter during the month-long syrup campaign. I don't know whether he liked Grandpa's company or whether it was the pork that Granny cooked up for him that brought him out so often. Being a Jew, Mr. Abe was forbidden to eat pork otherwise, and you didn't hear this story from me. Mr. Powell deserves discussion, too. He was a county-school superintendent and generally a political supporter of Daddy, who followed him in that job. He and Mrs. Powell regularly visited us, and Mr. Powell visited Daddy often, giving him perspective on the job he was doing. It turned out that Mr. Powell was my Spanish teacher in high school, so he didn't know me at my best. I tried not to embarrass Daddy, but that class was right after lunch and that class was full of distractions. Mr. Webb wound up as the police chief in Nashville. His approach to law enforcement was soft, and he acted as a surrogate father to many of us boys. When we were reported for careless driving on our motor scooters, they'd get impounded on the front porch of the police station. Simpler times. Supplemental Image A is the full size file, which could easily be improved by a bit of tweaking in an editor. Supplemental Image B is of three "calling cards" from Daddy and two classmates. |
