" THE TALK: Dusty, you are 14 years old today. You have NOW reached the AGE OF ACCOUNTABILITY...You are NO LONGER A CHILD.

From THIS DAY ON---I won't call you by your 'nickname' anymore...I will call you by your Given Name: MARSHA.

I know there has been a time or two when I SHOULD HAVE 'SPANKED' you...YOU NEEDED IT! You have been 'HARD-HEADED and STUBBORN' at times...But---I STOPPED AND THOUGHT---You will need SOME STUBBORNNESS AND HARD-HEADNESS---to SURVIVE in the Years-to-Come in your ADULT LIFE.

GOLDEN and I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH...Read your BIBLE that WE Gave You...It will TEACH you GOD's TRUTH...And,---IT will GUIDE you throughout your LIFE.

Come down to see us whenever you can.....NOW---Let's go back inside---and HAVE A DISH OF CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM! "

― Samuel Morgan Watson (paternal grandfather of Marsha Carol Watson Gandy)
