“We were a big family with seven kids. We were a poor family by most standards but most of the families in our area were not by any means rich either. The kids either didn’t care or more likely, no one really noticed that much about your “poor” appearance – when you rarely showed up with a “new piece” of clothing to wear. We loved to see Humpy and his first wife Virginia come – I am not certain it was because we liked them so much, as Humpy was a fun guy and loved to tease us kids – but perhaps also that they would always bring us kids some presents.”
