I walked into the kitchen where Momma was peeling potatoes. She grabbed my arm and held me there while she inspected my cleanliness. I must have passed muster because she gently leaned forward and kissed me on the cheek. Moving past the kitchen window, I saw Daddy striding quickly in from the pasture. John Dower Baisden was a sturdy man over six feet in stature with a hard work ethic and rugged good looks. His stern exterior belied the gentle man our family knew. Daddy enjoyed laughter and loved my Momma with every ounce of his being. They were very affectionate towards one another which gave me a great deal of security. Momma called him J.D. as did everyone else in Fincher Neck. Daddy was a dairy farmer which meant long days of never ending, back-breaking work. He milked, pasteurized, bottled, and delivered milk six days a week. To this day, I believe my brothers joined the Army to take a break from the dairy farm. Daddy started the business at a young age, and because of his hard work we were somewhere between “the haves” and “the have not’s.”
