Jack's Wife

Jack and Lou Ann has left and gone to Atlanta. I reckon Jack done about as good as a man could do in picking a wife. Lou Ann were real nice to me while they was here and was always checking to see if I needed anything. She come from the Mississippi Delta and Jack met her while they was in college together. Her family had come from China years ago and set up a grocery store. I read in the library about how they come to what they called the "golden mountain," meaning a great opportunity. There were a real need to provide groceries for the delta peoples and these Chinese folks seen the chance to make good there and was willing to work from 5:30 AM to 11 PM to fill the grocery sacks of the Delta folks both black and white. Lou Ann's folks was hard workers and taught their daughter well. Not only were she a pretty girl (still is) but she were real smart and become a druggist and had her own store out in California what she sold last year. Her and Jack seems to be real happy. Their kids is staying in California. Jack says he hopes they will come to visit us here on the lake so we can all go fishing together. I hope so to.
