..."Later as I grew older, I lived in Jonesboro, either with Dad and they boys or with Aunt Mattie Anderson. I could only visit there during the summers. That end of Craighead County was low, swampy land with farming acres on a gentle rise. It was being dredged and reclaimed with dredge ditches running clear streams with sandy bottoms. I learned to swim in one when Joe rocked the old dugout we were poling. Rather than fall out I had the brilliant idea of jumping out - not knowing that clear water was so deep. I started paddleing like a dog and got to shore... my first bathing suit was a pair of Joe's overalls."
