A grand-daughter's memory:
I just loved my grandfather. He was kind, funny, affectionate, doting, and made great popcorn, and as you can tell, I was just a very little girl at the time. Otelia was wonderful, too; always smiling, always the wonderful hostess and just a dear to me. I remember one morning when she'd made breakfast for all of us and I couldn't stop eating that fabulous bacon. All of a sudden it was like the gods took hold of me and I spoke up and said, "Ooooo, I just LOVE this greasy bacon!" I thought it was the most perfect bacon I'd ever tasted! Otelia walked around the table, leaned over and gave me a big hug and a buss on the cheek and said, "Honey, I'm so glad you like it and you can have all you want". Now that's a great gal, and a terrific step-grandmother. [6]
