• Notes

  Wiley told this story about his mama: "One of our neighbors was sick and Mama made a chicken pie for 'em. We walked to the neighbor's house. I don't know how far it was, 'cause I was just a little fella. It seemed like miles. When we were on our way home a big storm blowed up. Mama kept lookin' over her shoulder sayin', 'Walk faster, Wiley.' I was walkin' as fast as I could. Mama was a strappin' big woman and that's the only time I ever seen her scared. The rain started pourin' down, the wind blew me down. I hollered and Mama turned around. Her hair pins had come undone and her hair was blowin' all over the place. Her eyes was big as plums. She looked WILD. She reached down with one hand and yanked me up into her arms then RAN all the way home and straight to the storm cellar."
