Super Sue!!!!!

Seems as if all our stories start at the Righter farm{ not sure if this spelled right or not], but we lived on this farm for several years. My next older sister ,Sue, endured this time with myself, Howard, and baby sister Barbara and of course Mama and Daddy. This was before mechanical cotton pickers and weed control chemicals and all the cotton had to be chopped and maintained with a hoe and a lot of grit and sweat. I remember this hard time very well, but will not forget Sue trying so hard to chop the tough Johnson Grass,{ I don't think related to Delbert], she was covered from head to toe with shirts,pants,socks for gloves and strawhat to protect her delicate skin, which was as delicate as she was, from the sun,all the time attacking the johnson grass, striking the hoe down with all her strength, only to have it bounce back in her face. But she never quit. At about this time Farmall tractor came out with a new small tractor, SUPER C, which Delbert , observing Sue from his pickup on the turnrow said. "We need to replace Sue with A SUPER SUE". I know Sue agreed and she went on to become a SUPER SUE and main MOB with the largest insurance company in the mid south!!!!!!!! Waaa tooo ggggoooooo SUPER SUE !!!!!

  1. There's two things that Sue never gave up on. Chopping out the Johnson Grass and never giving up on live. I'm proud of you Sis!
