Alphard managed to leave the room and close the door on Doctor Franklin's hand with the knife. He dropped the knife and Alphard picked it up and walked out the back door.  Doctor Franklin said "son, don't get rid of my knife". Alphard returned the knife. Doctor Franklin left the house and started walking down the street. Alphard got in his car and tried to get Doctor Franklin to get in the car, but he wouldn't. Alphard called his brother-in-law who lived down the road. Doctor Franklin liked him. Alphard asked him to get Doctor Franklin in his car and to bring him back o Alphard's.

Notes for DIXIE LEROY BROADAWAY:
Memories of the J.W. Broadaway Family ---by Stanley Boden.. . Grandson...Son of Dixie Lee Broadaway Five Grandkids were born in the big house down the lane, The first was Norman Lee then came Oneida and Ruby Jean, Joanne Broadaway and then me, That became home to a lot of us, And with up to seventeen people living there, I can ever remember a serious fuss. Now, feeding that many people would appear quite a chore. I remember tons of fried chicken and hot biscuits galore. We had fresh-churned butter and sorghum molasses to sate us, And there was sugar-cured ham and baked sweet potatoes. And there was Papa Broadaway with his rocker and his cane, He could spin you a riddle or play you a game . And I thought him to be the world cleverest man Why, he c ould make a Jacob's Ladder with just a string and his hands . And he had answers to all our questions It seemed, without fail. He could tell you how to catch a wild bird by putting salt on its' tail. He could answer such mysteries As why cows chew their cuds, And he'd let me go with him on his walks through the woods Where he'd reveal such marvels to me And he taught me the name of every tree He seemed to be one of the few people who knew where the elusive Paw-Paw trees grew he'd cut one of those ripe Paw-Paw's in half and share it with me and have a good laugh For I couldn't share his enthusiam for that pungent repast. And back on the porch In the still of the day It would seem he could sit and rock hours away. And the fact that he dozed He just couldn't disguise I'd ask "Pop, are you asleep?" And, he'd answer, "Nope! Just resting my eyes." He could take a plug of apple sun-cured And his old Barlow, And with the flair of an artist He could cut that tobacco just so That it was plumb fascinatin' From where a kid stood And you could tell by the ritual of it all, that... It just had to be good ! And I remember I said, "Pop, I'd like some of that too. " And with his faithful old knife, He'd cut me a chew! Well , I found out later He never refused a Grandkid that first chew. For he'd played out that scene before, And it played it right, I reckon, For as far as I know... Not one of us ever asked for a second! June, 1989
