      6.I can personally remember the times when we were little ans we'd vist Pawpaw & Mamaw, or they would vist us. Papaw would take my sisters and I to a little store nearby. He would get the store clerk to give us each a bag, and let us fill it with candy and gum (blow gum, he called it!), then he would but it for us. At the store near their house in Fairfax, he'd buy each od us a stick of pepperoni too! Papaw liked candy too - he loved peppermint and choclate-covered cherries!
      I also remember that he really liked the Roanoke, VA area - because people he didn't know would talk to him, or at least speak or wave to him - which didn't happen in northern VA! --- Anna Caudill Murrie
