Another Story From Missouri

One cold winter day, when Grandma Dillard was about 5 years old, her dad, our Grandpa Dewey Smith, brought home a bootlegger (an alcohol smuggler). The drunken neighbor staggered into the kitchen and when Nanny saw him, she said, "don't you EVER come in that gate again!" Then she "chewed out" grandpa and said, "if I EVER catch him here again, I'll shoot him!"

Grandma Dillard told this incident to Darla and Jennifer while they were in Missouri, and they all laughed. Knowing Nanny, I think she WOULD have shot him to keep him away from her family!
