This picture, taken in 1967, shows my grandparents, Harry and Eunice, as I remember them. My grandmother spent quite a bit of time with us in New Jersey during her later years, but my grandfather never felt comfortable being away from Boykins. In the 16 years we lived in New Jersey before his death he visited only once. He planned to stay a week but managed only 3 days before the call of his beloved Boykins took control and he returned home. This was typical of him: He always loved to go somewhere, but as soon as he arrived he was ready to turn around and head back to Boykins.
