My grandfather died in 1976. He was 80.
Papa Green was a rapscallian for most of his years. He did finally recieve the Holy Ghost in 1966.
I have been told he only went on a couple of "easter egg hunts" after that.
I was born in 1969 and by then he was too old and sick to be much of a bad fellow.... I remember going to Three Flags Resturant in Bon Weir Tx. which he and my grandmother Maw Green owned.
Some of my earliest memories are of going over to Bon Wier and seeing Papa sitting at the counter drinking coffee. I would go and sit with him, and he would look to make sure no one was looking, then he would pour a sip into the saucer for me to drink!
As bad as Lou Green may have been, he was a kindly old man who snuck me a sip or two of his coffee on occasion.
Thanks for jaring my memory.
