Individual:
JOHN THOMAS JAMES WAS A REALLY WARM,WONDERFUL MAN.
HE DIED OF A HEART ATTACK AT 57.HE WAS A PAINTER BY TRADE AND ALSO WORKED FOR THE USN AS A FOREMAN AT THE TORPEDO STATION.
I CAN REMEMBER GOING TO NEWPORT WHEN I WAS IN THE NAVY ABOARD THE USS WYANDOT AKA97,AND GOING TO VISIT UNCLE JOHN.IT WAS IN 1957.I WAS PLANNING ON GOING HOME TO ERNESTINE TO GET MARRIED.HE WAS THE FIRST PERSON I TOLD.HE TOOK ME TO THE CREAMERY IN NEWPORT AND BOUGHT ME AN ICE CREAM SODA AND WE DISCUSSED THE INSTITUTION OF MARRIAGE.HE REALLY CAME TO LIKE MY WIFE ERN..
WHENEVER MY FATHERS FAMILY VISITED NEWPORT,WE ALWAYS STAYED WITH JOHN.HE WAS MY FATHERS FAVORITE.
I HAD MANY GOOD TIMES AT UNCLE JOHNS HOUSE. I CAN REMEMBER HANGING OUT WITH MY TWO COUSINS,JOHNNY AND MORRIS.WE USE TO GO OVER TO THE PIER TO SWIM WHENEVER THE MAN OF WAR JELLYFISH OR THE RED TIDE WERE NOT IN.
A FEW TIMES WE USE TO GO UPTOWN TO BILLY GOODS BAR,WHICH WAS A MANS ONLY BAR UNTIL THE FEMINAZIES OF THE 80s COMPLAINED THAT IT WAS UNCONSTITUTIONAL TO HAVE A BAR WHERE WOMEN WERE NOT ALLOWED.THE BAR WENT DOWN THE HILL AFTER THAT AND I THINK IT FINALLY CLOSED.
BOTH OF MY COUSINS DIED EARLY FROM ACCIDENTS IN THIER THIRTIES ,SO WHEN I GOT TO THAT AGE, I REALLY WORRIED ID BE NEXT.
I THINK THESE ARE THE REASONS THAT I LOVED NEWPORT SO MUCH.I FELT NEWPORT WAS MY SECOND HOME AND I WAS REALLY DRAWN TO THIS BEAUTIFUL TOWN EVERY CHANCE I GOT.MY WIFE ERN ALSO FELT THE WAY I DID ABOUT THE TOWN.ITS FULL OF GOOD TIMES AND MANY CHILDHOOD MEMORIES.I THINK THE SPIRITS OF ALL OUR RELATIVES STILL ROAM THE STREETS ON THE "POINT",AND THEY LIKE TO SEE THIER DESCENDENTS ROAM THE SAME TURF THAT THEY LOVED SO MUCH.......
