Now many more memories from the Father-in-Law are coming back.
He claimed that he remembered Blind Jim.
I have no reason to doubt him.
He was aware of Faulkner hanging out on the Oxford Square, but never encountered him.
(Dad in Law). . . had to leave Ole Miss during WW II. ( He joined the Navy)
This guy returned to Ole Miss (part time between jobs) during the late 40's & early 50's.
When he was a senior, the Korean War started.
Back to the Navy he went.
My Father-in-Law had so many stories about what life was like on the Ole Miss Campus , the Town of Oxford, Lafayette County,
and the surrounding areas. ( Memphis, Tupelo, Pontotoc, Batesville, Water Valley, ect.)
Sorry I started rambling.
