I am the youngest of 5 children. Following my husband's retirement, we and purchased an RV and traveled between Indiana and Southern California. We eventually gave up life on the road and moved into a beautiful RV Resort in Bushnell, Florida. I now live in Michigan where I am enjoying my two great grandchildren and being near family.
James was severely burnt at the age of two. He pulled a pan of boiling water down on himself burning him from the chin all the way down his front. He did not let the scarring or trauma of this episode hold him back in any way. He spent 4 years in the Marines doing a tour in Viet Nam. Upon his arrival home, he went to work at GTE. He retired from Verizon (GTE) and went full time RVing, traveling between Indiana and Hemet, California with his lovely wife, Vicky, Eventually making their home in Lecanto, Florida.
My Mother, Alma Lee, married my father when she was 18 yrs old in Kansas City, Missouri. She retired from Whitehall Laboratories to enjoy fishing and spending time with her grand children. I will forever miss her!
My father, John Wiley Williams Sr. worked in the dry cleaning industry as a Spotter until moving to Elkhart, Indiana and taking a manufacturing job at Adam's and Westlake Co. He played the saxophone as well as other instruments in his band named The Scats.
My sister, Beverly, was born on my father's Birthday. She was the first girl born after three boys and was spoiled rotten. She worked hard most of her life and still raised three wonderful children, mostly on her own.
My brother, Richard, was born with Cerebral Palsy and lived at Ashley Court, a group home in Goshen, Indiana.
My eldest brother, Johnny, retired from the Airforce. He entered the Airforce after spending 4 yrs in the Marines. Much of his military service was spent at Offit Airforce Base in Omaha, Nebraska.
James Charles Williams was born 10/12/1944 in Kansas City Missouri. Father moved Mother and their two sons back to Drum, Missouri so he could find a new home for the family in St. Louis. While living in the home of Millard and wife Nancy Scott Mabrey, Jim reached up and pulled a pan of boiling water down on him. He was severely burnt from his chin down his entire chest. The hospital was unable to help him and sent him back home to die. An old woman locals called Granny Huffman came down to the farm bringing with her a slimy substance she skimmed off the lid of her butter churn. She removed the hospital wrappings and smeared the milky stuff all over Jimmie's burns. She returned almost every day to treat his burns. Obviously, he recovered and turned out to be a great brother!!
