Willie and Gladys got eight children. One day when me and Willie was fishing, instead of just funning around, I got serious and asked him why he had so many children. He said Gladys loved children and as long as he could take care of them without having to depend on charity he reckoned it was okay. I'd say better'n okay. They all turned out excellent. I asked him one day how he managed to have such good kids and he said, "Me and Gladys just saw to it."
The first kids they had was two sets of twins. Yep. Lois and Lola first. And then Larry and Barry. Lois and Lola is both teachers. They stayed right here in Harper and taught black children until they was able to teach all the children. They're always getting rewards. Larry and Barry is both preachers. In Georgia. They both got big churches and word is out they saving souls all over the South.
