They only dated briefly, but the memories still linger in our family...and especially since her death we all had to rehash those memories. I am glad he is doing well, and often wonder if he ever thinks of my Aunt from time to time...Johnny, if by some miracle you see this...do you remember short little Claudene in Jacksonville, that came from the farm in south Georgia?

Last I heard (2009) David Brown was out in San Francisco working in Norton Buffalo's band "The Knockouts." Since Norton passed away a few months ago I don't know what David is up to. David also played with Boz Scaggs and was on his first album (the one where Duane Allman plays the lead on 'Brother Can You Loan Me a Dime?'.

At the age of about 5 I was on the Toby Dowdy Show (just clapping my hands to the music). My father worked for Winn Dixie back then and they were the sponsors of the show.
