On Wednesday, May 27th, we lost the patriarch of our family - Jim Minter. Jim was well known for his contributions to the newspaper world, but to us, he was a dad, a father-in-law, a Paw Paw and our personal worrywart. At 95 years old, he was still a great storyteller and we were fortunate enough to record some of his memories of family members who had long passed before our time. The YouTube video is in honor of his memory and in honor of his grandfather, Papa Harp - William Edward Mozee Harp, who passed in 1938. Watch here and listen to some of Jim's stories from his early years - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKGplpPP97E
