Learning from a friend how to drive a tractor.
My Great-Grandfather and Great-Grandmother, Wess and Grace Walker (Mama and Papa Walker), Great-Aunt Sybil, Great-Uncles Travis and Wendel, and Grandfather Louis (lower right).
Walker Family Reunion, 07/04/1968. I am on the steps, my sister is in mom's arms. Mom and Dad are standing far right. Mama and Papa Walker are standing just to the left of the steps.

Papa Walker, ready to go to the garden to cultivate. This is the way I remember him most clearly. The hoe in the photo is most likely the same as the one now hanging on my wall. (The hoe leaning against the corn in the photo with the hat in this same gallery.)
Papa's hoe; my hat; and a stalk of corn.
