Quoting Daddy

"I'm going out west where 
the eagles build their nest". A.J. Johnson

He must have wanted to follow the eagles.
He was born and raised in the south and
often stated that he was going out west.

In a way, his dream came true through me.
I went and lived in the west for over
40 years, but daddy never did.
