The Asbury Thanksgiving
Upon moving from Monticello, Florida to Wilmore, Kentucky to the Asbury College duplex in 1965, the family was complete with Lewis, born in Tallahassee in sixty-three and sister Paula. Present were Wayne Tarpley, a Georgia boy unable to go home for Thanksgiving and our beloved late Uncle William Clark, who lived in the little apartment behind us with his brother Billy. A grand two years. Also there, but not shown was Monnie, or Ethel Orander, my mothers mother from West Virginia who lived with us, sleeping in Paula’s bedroom. Lewis and I shared a room with him on the top bunk. Daddy was the Alumni and Public Relations director under President ZT Johnson, long time family friend from when Mamma and daddy attended Asbury.
