Cool! I wrote to him and asked him to do a sketch and he did, explaining how the figure he drew was related to his early days on a radio station. He was a really nice guy!

I’m terry hampton My grand parents are up by the tree I knew grandpa and Ramona personally . I performed 10 yrs with Charlie louvin . This was our community .. grandpa lived on happy hollow rd and string bean lived on the other side of the hill on baker road across from the old spring I lived up on the hill baker station road , they baby sat me a couple time and were good people .. they were active in the luton community I remember grandpa playing Santa clause in the Sunday school room of that church when I was 4 yrs old Lots of history in that community Lonzo and Oscar , Ferlin husky among others in that community My grand father worked on building and restorations on that church in the 1890s

The good ol' days, when TV was worth watching. I remember on Saturday night, watching Hee Haw at 7 pm, then switching to CBS and watching "All in the Family", "The Jeffersons", "Mary Tyler Moore Show", "Bob Newhart Show" and finally "Carol Burnett Show". The best night on TV back when I was a kid was Saturday. I miss good TV and I miss being young.
I saw grandpa Jones in concert when I was a kid. It’s a funny story because he was on stage selling his records he asked if anybody in the audience that would like to buy one raise your hands and I raised my hand because I wanted one not understanding you have to pay for it. My dad saw my hand up took it back down and told grandpa Jones she doesn’t want one and he said OK. But it’s funny because my dad was so embarrassed because I raise my hand. I must’ve been about eight or nine when this happened.
my dad was in the Philippines during WWII with him. they were in the postal unit together. he said that he could play a toilet seat if it had strings on it, i have a pic of them. sadly my dad passed away after seeing the first couple of episodes of HEE HAW at age 43
