After he won the senate election I wrote a congratulatory letter and his wife, Rhea, personally wrote me back.

I wonder if my Granddad and Grandmother, Bill and Sara Straughn were at Mamies that day. Nice story North Escambia. We traveled far and wide and always came back here-- to home. Hey Bubba and Jerry.
