COLORFUL UNCLES REMEMBERED-- #1

It is more than appropriate to make Uncle Coleman the first in this series of Posts about my uncles.




Many Blog readers knew him well. He was in many respects my second father. Uncle Coleman was Mom's only brother. That's the reason my middle name is the same as his.


For several years his family and our family shared a single large house on a small farm in Southern Indiana. His children are more like siblings to me.


My Dad and Uncle Coleman were best friends for over 80 years. They were co-valedictorians of their KY high school class.


Uncle Coleman, like my mother and one of her sisters, had high cheek bones. Part of our family oral history is our grandmother was part Cherokee Indian. At his funeral several people remarked that I resembled him more than some of his children---upon second thought that may have meant I looked dead !! Uncle Coleman's chin seemed to be chiseled from material which supported his ever present smile. He could tell you the time of day with a smile and a half laugh which would make you glad you asked him.


Unlike my mother, his face was more angular than her round face. He had a full head of hair throughout his life---something I envied! His nose, like mine, was size Native American large. He seemed to have a year-round tan. His quiet dark eyes bespoke his personality. He was a walking billboard for overalls. Sometimes he would wear them without an undershirt.


I never heard him utter a curse word. Later in life I recall that he called everyone---"Honey" He was a genuine Christian. He and wife Corrine served as a "home away home" for many relatives and their children. These were not overnight sleep overs. Stays were sometimes several months long. In one incident a girl friend of one of my cousins and her brother, spent several months with Uncle Coleman's family. During a prolonged hospitalization of my mother, I stayed with his family.  


He had calloused Christian hands. Uncle Coleman spent some of his vacation time working at his church's camp. He called it "Camp Meeting" ----an old time reference to intense Christian worship and praise. Often he would play his guitar and sing in his church. If I close my eyes and rewind the memory tape I can almost hear his guitar and him singing 'On The Jericho Road ,There's Room For Just Two, No More And No Less, Just Jesus And You.'  


Uncle Coleman and I often talked about Southern Gospel Music. His favorite groups were not fancy  symphonic productions. He believed the message made the song. One of my favorite memories is the time Uncle Coleman, his youngest son, my wife and I went to an all-night gospel singing in Indianapolis. This was decades before 911 and the fans could bring coolers, picnic baskets, lawn chairs, etc. I had more fun than an adult should have by convincing my almost teenage cousin that my cooler was filled with rattlesnakes and about midnight I was going to see who really was in the Spirit and pass them around.


That same evening I went by the record tables and there was Uncle Coleman buying a 3 for $10 special. He saw me and said,"I guess I'll have to tell Rinney (his nickname for Aunt Corrine) what happened to the rent money!" During some of the songs that night I saw a lot of mist in his eyes. Must have that big city night air! That same evening my wife got to shake hands with one of the legendary icons of Southern Gospel Music---Jimmy Blackwood as he came singing into the audience.


About 4am the crowd was getting tired and restless. Then the Speer Family came on and must have sung "I never shall forget the day!" about a dozen times. That crowd was sleepy no more. Yes, we were all in the Spirit by then and made it until the benediction was given as the sun up over the city of Indianapolis. (I did confess earlier to my cousin my big lie about the cooler containing rattlesnakes---actually the cooler had KFC and RCs.)
                    
I deeply regret I was never able to go with him and his two oldest sons to the National Quartet Convention in Louisville, KY.

OLD MOVIES KEEP US YOUNG

THIS POST IS BASED ON MY OWN VIEWS:

TWO SOLID TAKEAWAYS FROM GRANDSON'S GRADUATION

STUDENT SPEECHES AT HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATIONS ARE SOMEWHAT PREDICTABLE. MONDAY NIGHT WAS NO EXCEPTION.


"THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED THEM FROM THE BABY DOCTOR WHO DELIVERED THEM TO THE JAINTOR WHO KEPT QUIET ABOUT WHAT HE FOUND IN THEIR OPEN LOCKER!"


BUT TONIGHT WAS DIFFERENT IN THAT EACH OF THE TWO YOUNG WOMEN WHO SPOKE HAD A NUGGET OR TWO WORTH REMEMBERING:


1. ONE SAID, "NOW IT IS OUR TURN TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE." (I thought to myself: Praise The Lord that someone has the courage to try and straighten this whole mess out---my generation has really botched the job!)


2. THE OTHER EXPLAINED WHY HER MOTHER ALWAYS TOLD HER TO ACT LIKE A "DUCK":  "CALM ON THE SURFACE, BUT PEDDLING LIKE CRAZY BELOW THE OBSERVED WATERLINE!" ( I had heard this barnyard philosophy before; however, just about all of our current elected leaders (some preachers included) are more interested in telling, and showing, how much effort they are expending. Maybe one of the 280 grads will change the world and not care who gets the credit! They will never ask for my vote or want to hold my wallet! In fact, they will make the invisible man look like a showoff!) 


I AM SO VERY HAPPY NO ONE TOLD ME WHEN I WAS 17 HOW INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT LIFE WOULD BECOME AFTER THE TASSEL WAS MOVED! 


IF THEY HAD, I MIGHT HAVE SAID, "I AIN'T GOING!"

SUPER YATCH OF TOMORROW--ITALIAN -DESIGNER TERUZZI



NAME DROPPER AGAIN---I HAVE A RETIRED AIR FORCE FRIEND (CHUCK--Played college football in Alabama.) WHO HAS SAILED AROUND THE WORLD TWICE ON HIS OWN YATCH---NOT THIS ONE. HE MIGHT WANT TO GET HIS ORDER IN FOR THIS  CONCEPT YATCH.  FROM THE LONDON SUN:




'DESIGNER has created a series of stunning concept images to showcase a luxurious super yacht which comes complete with an enormous viewing deck, glass bottomed pool and an aquarium.


The enormous 492-ft yacht, called the Shaddai, boasts an elevated cabin which would offer jaw-dropping views over the surrounding ocean – from a height of 125ft above the water’s surface.


Italian designer Gabriel Teruzzi is the man behind the stunning concept, although it would certainly take a bold builder to bring the incredible craft to life.'


MY FRIEND CHUCK MADE LOTS OF MONEY IN THE STOCK MARKET BUT I DOUBT IF HE CAN AFFORD THIS ONE!


HERE'S A SUPER IDEA: ALL PCHS GRADS PITCH IN AND WE'LL ORDER ONE. WE WILL HAVE A REUNION THAT WILL NEVER BE TOPPED---THIS SIDE OF HEAVEN !

WE LIVE IN A SELFIE WORLD !

THINK ABOUT THIS !



SOMEONE ONCE DESCRIBED STEVE JOBS AS "THE MAN WHO SOLD US STUFF WE DIDN'T KNOW WE NEEDED."


NOT ONLY DID HE AND APPLE SCORE A HUGE TECHNOLGICAL HIT, THEY ALSO HIT AN UPPER DECK HOME RUN ON MARKETING.


CONSIDER: i Mac, i Pad, i Pod, i Phone, & i Tunes to just name a few of Apple creations. Jobs saw the Selfie marketing angle long before others.

A ROUGH REUNION LESSON

                       A ROUGH REUNION LESSON

 

 

Eight hard driving hours brought me to my goal

A large green tent erected in a small town city park

I excitedly went although I didn’t know a single soul

An e-mail promise of free food made me want to embark

 

 

A blank white nametag on my chest was quickly applied

Questions about my kin folks came like the ’37 Ohio Flood

So many people with notebooks made it very hard to decide

“Are you related by marriage or are you original blood?”

 

 

“I really don’t know,” was my honest answer so mild and meek

My early warm welcome melted like a late Spring snow

“No free food for you,” they said, “we’ll only swab your cheek”

A big guy in overalls said, “You really make make that car go!”

 

 

After getting out of sight,  I stopped at a store for a snack

No fried chicken, no cake, and no homemade chocolate pie

A Diet Coke with Tom’s peanuts would do until I got back

When it comes to reunion invites I’ve learned to ask “Why?”
