3. Childhood in Palatka Post cards from the past Post cards from the past Lemon Street. The main street of Palatka. His parents briefly tried to operate a little shop near there when he was young. This shot is from about 1933, when he was around 12. (It was later renamed St. Johns Avenue.) St. John’s River. Carey and his brothers often fished off this bridge, their usual catch being a fish called bream, only in the South, he told Tom not too long ago, is it pronounced “brim.” I made some minor text changes and elaboration suggestions here on this slide
7. Mail Call Because his parents were illiterate, he never got any mail, perhaps prompting his lifelong prolific letter-writing. Wheeling & Dealing Traded cigarettes for candy bars and nursed a sweet tooth for the rest of his life. He loved his “Nickel Coke” Life in the Service SEE MY PROPOSED EDITING ON NEXT SLIDE
8. Life in the Service Mail Call Because his parents couldn’t read or write, he hardly got any mail, perhaps prompting his lifelong prolific letter-writing. Wheeling & Dealing Traded his cigarettes ration for candy bars and nursed a sweet tooth for the rest of his life. He loved his “Nickel Coke.” A couple months ago he told Tom he wanted to taste one of those little cold bottles again. To his surprise he found one for his birthday. I suggested a softer language for “illiterate,”a & found a real 1940 Snickers wrapper. i don’t know how to tilt images. Added bottle.
