1981 Cloudy all day. We visited Mr. and Mrs. White then rode over thru the back valley to Olinger. stoped at Edsil Huffs and he leased our tobacco. Jennings was in after we got back and Kenneth called while he was here.
Footnote: Not sure who Mr. and Mrs. White are - friends I am sure. Olinger is a small village about 6-8 miles away from where they live. Millard's sister, Reba and her husband owned the country store in Olinger. Not sure if my memory of the store is correct, but I can see it as having 2 big windows in front and a big porch with no roof on the porch. Don't know if that is right but it is what I imagine. Edsil Huff must be a tenant farmer who will raise her tobacco for a share of the money when it is sold. Jennings is her brother. Kenneth is Jennings' son who lives in Iowa.
