Jack Stories

These stories are like some of the movies we watch sometimes. They are based on actual events. However, the events are scrambled, using stories from several members of our family. They are multigenerational. Stories that my granny told are attributed to my dad, and stories from other family members are from him as well. Some of these stories even come from my own life, now incorporated as Jack stories. A couple of these stories are completely from my imagination but are told in historical context.

Most of the people in these stories are real, but most of what is told here has been manufactured in the far-reaching places of my mind. I love my family and the East Tennessee area in which we were all born and raised. Because my purpose has been to shine a positive light on our people (we all have skeletons in our closets, but we dont have to live in there with them!), I have focused on the funny and sweet moments I keep in my treasure chest of memories.

Thanks for reading.
