L.T. &Lucille always had that kind of home that was so much fun! My mom, Dorothy was L.T's baby sister. They all played Pitch together. Even when our son,Jim went to A-State I would call and say, are.you coming home this weekend? He would say NO I'm going to play cards at LT's with grandma and grandpa. As I reflect back on the many nights I spent with Tricia one comes to mind. We were sleeping in one bed and the boys were sleeping in the other. It was a Singer house (most everyone at that time) lived in one. A 4 room house with a bath (if you were lucky). Elvis was really HOT. Robert stood up in the bed bouncing around acting like he was Elvis. Singing (You ain't nothing but a hound dog). I was not even a teenager at the time and I thought he was so COOL. My heart is sad for all the Carter family But happy that he will be with Barb! RIP Robert

Lots of memories of Uncle Robert but ever since dad called and told me all I can think of is him cutting my shirt tail and me chasing him with a knife. Thanks uncle Robert for always making me laugh every time I think about that day at your cabin.
