On the recordMay 16, 2002
Well, this is a picture of my wife. We were married 42 years. We laid her to rest yesterday morning. She was one of the most wonderful people that I ever met. I promised her before she died that I would make sure that she would at least be remembered as a footnote in history, if not a little bit more. I told her I would come to the floor and tell a little bit about her life, because it was a very interesting life. She was born in Flat Creek, Kentucky, up in the mountains, the hills of Kentucky in a two-room shack. They had no water, running water, they had no plumbing, and they had no electricity. She and her grandmother and grandfather and her mother and her uncle lived in that two-room shack while she was a little girl.
