BUT I HAVE BEEN TOLD SO MUCH ABOUT GRANDDADDY AND GRANDMOTHER.EVERYTHING THAT I HAVE BEEN TOLD ABOUT THEM HAS ALL BEEN GOOD.I CAN'T WRITE DOWN ALL THAT I HAVE BEEN TOLD BECAUSE IT WOULD TAKE A LARGE BOOK JUST ABOUT THEM.CALVIN RIDDLE WOULD GO TO THE KASH AND KARRY AND SIT DOWN AND TALK TO HIS CLOSE FRIEND J.S. MYERS WHO HAD STARTED UP A SMALL STORE.KASH AND KARRY WAS STARTED IN A STORE FRONT.HE AND J.S.
