"I was in an explosion ... that I think killed twelve people" " ...if it hadn't been for opossums, I'd have been dead" " The Board of Education had one vision for us, but our teachers had a completely different vision for us. And that's what saved a lot of us." " The river rose out of its banks inflicting a mortal wound on the canal." " His buggy was known as a good buggy ... When the Model T came out he got a Ford dealership." "... Ku Klux Klan. They used to burn crosses on that road all the time."
