Morry and I were related through the Fye and Weber Family trees, Every summer I rode the Illanois Central (Thirteen hours.) from NOLA (New Orleans) to Effingham to visit family in Olney. June and July were spent at my grandfather's home (Dr. Frank C.) on Elliott Street a half a block from Aunt Kittie's (Morry's) home. What a game room in that home! There were frequent visits back and forth, trips to the Olney Pool with it's high dive, and excusions to Hovey's for an occassional malt. A block from both homes was the Teen Center where Morry, Doug Hocking, Sam Hursta and other guys would "shoot" pool up on the balcony while shyly watching the girls (Many with their "Bee Hive" hairdos) in the "ballroom" down below shake and shimmer to the music from the Jukebox.
Later, Morry moved in with my grandparents (Fye) in NOLA as he was trying to decide what to do with his life. He frequently came up to Baton Rouge that fall to enjoy the LSU football season. He was frquently asked to come to LSU and matriculate. Ultimately he chose a different path and our lives never crossed again.
Morry never had a harsh word for anyone. He was a kind and gentle soul with fabulous sense of humor!
It has been fun to reconnect with his brothers and sisters the last few years!
