Bill

Well like I said me and Bethel had three children together. The first was Bill. His real name is William Clay  but we called him Bill and he was born while I was in Korea. Me and Bethel hadn't been married but a few months when I got the call. I reckon we made Bill just before I shipped out cause I wadn't over yonder but nine months when I got word he arrived. So when I come home there he was. He was a smart little thing, took after his mamma I reckon. He made real good grades and even traveled with the school to debate other schools. But his mamma never knew it. She died when he was only nine. She missed seeing him go off to college and make a lawyer. But at least she didn't have to suffer through missing him when he moved out to California and took up a life of high living. She didn't have to know he would forget about all he left behind in Harper. Of course, me and Bethel had two more children before she passed on, Jack and Doreen.
Tomorrow I'll try and explain Jack to you.
