He was the aggressive one of the family. We were
all over to the mill one day. Someone came along,
that, oh, Frant had known this man years before
and he’d never seen him for a number of years.
And frant was there talking to him. Paul came up
and he looked at him , he said, “My name’s Paul.”
He would always make himself known, very friendly
-- he is yet. In fact the ladies all here in the
apartment think he is just about it, sociable.
One of them said the other day, she said, “you
know, your son Kent isn’t near as sociable as
Paul was.”
. . .
He got him a car before he was sixteen. He was
only fifteen ad his dad said, “What will you do?”
Well he said, “Dad, my friends are mostly older
than I am. They can drive.” And so he bought him
a car and they drove it for him for about a year
and then he got a license. Dad said “I will give
my consent, but I won’t give my consent to you
driving until you can get your license.” He said,
“I won’t drive, dad.” And he didn’t. I think he’s
the most careful driver. Last time I talked to
him, I think it was when I was in Europe, he
said, “Mother, I have never had a moving
violation of any kind since I started to drive.”
He said, “I’ve never had a ticket or a citation
or anything for a moving violation.”
When he first started to drive, why he made me
nervous, he drove so slow. He said, “Well, I’m
not going to have a wreck.”
