and his 2 bicycles! Apparently Bud had saved up to buy himself a
new bicycle, and the same week he bought it, he won another one at the
Co. Fair! In the 1940s, a boy with 2 new bicycles was RICH indeed! |

Maw never drove a car. Every summer from the time he got his license
until his death, he took Maw on vacation to the Smoky Mts. |

Curtis William was called "Bud" by the immediate family. "Buddy" by his nieces. Not to be confused with the other "Bud" Joyce, who is Aunt Lil's son. | |
| I guess I'm the last of us who remembers Uncle Buddy. Terri and Chris were too young when he died to remember much than that he had once lived. He was my "buddy", my hero. It amazes me now when I think that he was only 15 - 17 yrs old when I developed this "crush" on him. He played with me, he let me in his bedroom to listen to his records. He we had a game, which I barely remember, but my grandparents laughed about it when they told the story after I was grown. Buddy would give me a nickel....not to tell Maw and Paw about whatever he was doing that I might tell on him for. Apparently some one put me up to telling him that I wanted "Big Nickels" (quarters) to buy my silence. I remember one snowy day, I was walking to school (2nd grade). It was only 5 or 6 blocks, but seemed like miles to me then. Buddy was driving himself and several friends to school himself....he was still in High School. He stopped and picked me up and drove me to school. His friends were saying....awwww, don't mess with that little kid (macho guys). He told them to "be quite or walk", that he was taking "his girl" to school! | |||
