Cuz interviewed Irvin Gerald Patterson in his home on May 5, 2007. In this interview, “Pat” told stories of his youth, about teams of horses, and farming in the early part of the 1900’s. Gerald was born on August 19, 1914.
In this second of 3 interviews with Cuzzie’s Mom, Cuz continues with questions about life in Sherman in days gone by, which are where many of the tales Cuzzie has told on “’Member the Time”.
Cuz finally got permission to do an official interview of Cuzzie’s Mom. This is our first opportunity to learn about the source of many of the tales Cuzzie has told on “’Member the Time”.
Cuz describes Golden Ridge during the winter, then tells his "Stinking Little Rhyme". Farney D. shows up as the common 'tater for the episode, and talks about olden days in Yawdem near Salmon Stream. Farney introduces "NUB News" with Ross, who tells about an original Yawdem method of wood splitting introduced by Chester, and about a skunk wreath, followed by some foolishness from Ju-Ju and Ro-Ro. Farney D. introduces Cuz singing "You Don't Feel Like a Hero" and "DAV Dancer" in honor of the troops. Farney introduces Warden Lovesey telling the 4th word of his "Shortest Joke Ever That Takes the Longest Time to Tell". Next Cuzzie and Cuz bring "'Member the Time", talking about routines around the farm. Cuzzie tells about the smell of the cleaner her Mom used on the linoleum every week, what food was served on certain nights, and how they had dessert with every supper. Next is a surprise message from Priscilla Huskfoot.
