1
00:02.000 --> 00:10.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>We tend to live miles away, and my mother and father wouldn't allow me to go to them.

2
00:10.000 --> 00:12.000
<v Leslie Brown>To the Piccolo joints, you weren't allowed to go?

3
00:12.000 --> 00:13.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>We weren't allowed to go.

4
00:13.000 --> 00:14.000
<v Leslie Brown>Did you go anyway?

5
00:14.000 --> 00:29.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>But every once in a while, I would slip away and run in there for a minute, and then I had to fly to get back home before my mama would miss me, sure would be it.

6
00:29.000 --> 00:32.000
<v Leslie Brown>What were the Piccolo joints like?

7
00:32.000 --> 01:18.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>Well, this was just a store and they had that machine in there playing the records and everything, and I would want to hear them. And people would dance in there, but my mother didn't allow me to go, she sure didn't. Wasn't like it is now, right? That's all these young people do now, is go to them Piccolo joints. You can have church service on that end and a Piccolo joint on that end, if you want to find the crowd, you go to the Piccolo joint.

8
01:18.000 --> 01:22.000
<v Leslie Brown>So what did you do for fun when you were growing up?

9
01:22.000 --> 01:48.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>Well, I had a lot of friends else and they loved to sing too, and we would get together, and sing, and play ring around the rose, and all that kind of mess, that was our enjoyment.

10
01:48.000 --> 01:50.000
<v Leslie Brown>Where did you meet your friends?

11
01:50.000 --> 02:45.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>Well, I met 'em by going to school, and I had two wonderful girlfriends, their father was a minister, and their mother and my mother were good friends, and they would go to each other's house at night, and them moon shining nights, we'd be going from house to house. And their father, he mostly started me to singing, he would put all us childrens in that room and make us sing. And he said, "I'm going to make a singer out of you," after all, and he would make me sing this song, Brighten The Corner Where You Are, that's what I started off from.

12
02:45.000 --> 02:46.000
<v Leslie Brown>How old were you?

13
02:46.000 --> 03:39.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>And boy, Lord, we'd laugh and had the best time, be out there running and playing, come home, go to bed. And coach, you can't do that now, it's dangerous, and you walk from here up there to the store now, somebody be done kidnap you. But in those days, it was rough work, but you enjoyed each other, it was just fun to be with each other. Yeah, I saw in the church, a many time with no music at all, pray, I used to pray in the church when I was a young girl.

14
03:39.000 --> 03:54.000
<v Leslie Brown>What were the special days in church?

15
03:54.000 --> 04:09.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>I would say Mother's Day, Father's Days were good and special, and Christmas.

16
04:09.000 --> 04:12.000
<v Leslie Brown>Were there special events at the church on those days?

17
04:12.000 --> 04:16.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>Mm-hmm, yeah.

18
04:16.000 --> 04:18.000
<v Leslie Brown>Were there a lot of people who went to church?

19
04:18.000 --> 05:03.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>Yes, Lord. And back then, you get there, you can hardly get a seat. People be standing all outside, couldn't get in the church? Okay, and they still have good crowds at church now, but they don't be no ways packed like there was back then. Every once in a while, you'll get a good packing crowd.

20
05:03.000 --> 05:07.000
<v Leslie Brown>Did people go to church in families or by themselves?

21
05:07.000 --> 05:15.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>Yeah, some people go by themself, and then some go in families.

22
05:15.000 --> 05:18.000
<v Leslie Brown>Did different families know each other?

23
05:18.000 --> 05:25.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>Uh-huh, yeah.

24
05:25.000 --> 05:28.000
<v Leslie Brown>Did people help each other?

25
05:28.000 --> 06:52.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>Yeah, well, now I could say this much, people have been very nice to me since I've been sitting in this wheelchair, I could thank God for that, they always doing something for me. Some churches has been nice enough to send me money enough to buy me a bottle of medicine and at Christmas time, they send me fruit and send me a little small check or something, they've been very nice to me. So that make me feel like my work I have did was not in vain. Yeah, people is pretty good. You have some people stand out, try to look over you or something, and I guess it always be like that, some people think they're better than others or got a little more than others, but I could say they've been very nice to me, people been very nice.

26
06:52.000 --> 07:01.000
<v Leslie Brown>What kind of things did you do for people when you were younger?

27
07:01.000 --> 07:22.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>I used to do a lot of things for people. I would visit the sick a lot, I always loved to help the sick people. I have had people to tell me I wouldn't do that, but I have did a lot of things for the sick.

28
07:22.000 --> 07:23.000
<v Leslie Brown>What kinds of things?

29
07:23.000 --> 07:35.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>Like comb their hair, bathe them, wash their clothes, I have cooked food and cared to the sick.

30
07:35.000 --> 07:38.000
<v Leslie Brown>Were these people who were friends of yours?

31
07:38.000 --> 07:40.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>Well, yeah, they was friends.

32
07:40.000 --> 07:48.000
<v Leslie Brown>Did other people do the same thing?

33
07:48.000 --> 09:03.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>No, a lot of people didn't pay them kind of people no mind. I took care of my husband mother, she had cancer and I took care of that lady, I did things for her her own children didn't do. I kept her clean, I kept her hair, I kept her house clean, and I got my husband to get her a house right across the road in front of me. I would cook, the mens would be in the field working, I would cook food and then I would carry food over there and set her table, so when her husband and boys got home, they didn't have no problem about no dinner, then I'll come back over to my house and have my husband dinner ready.

34
09:03.000 --> 10:10.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>Lord, I did that for a long time, I sure did. Even today, some of her children will come here now and tell me if it's anything I need, let them know, said they'd never forget how I stood by their mother even when they weren't even there, then some of them don't. But I used to tell them, I said, "Well, I'm going to do this though, maybe someday somebody will do something for me," so now I'm sitting here in this chair where I need somebody to do something for me and I think I'm being rewarded from it.

35
10:10.000 --> 10:32.000
<v Leslie Brown>You told me about the Whites who were sharecroppers and some of the Whites who were the landowners, what kind of contact did you have with Whites when you were growing up?

36
10:32.000 --> 11:06.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>Well, they always treated me all right, I never had no problem with none of them. I used to take in washing for White people, I have cleaned their homes, and all of them was very nice to me, I never really had no problem with them.

37
11:06.000 --> 11:11.000
<v Leslie Brown>Do you know anybody else who had any problems with them?

38
11:11.000 --> 11:45.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>Well, not really. Sometime I hear a lot of people say they had problems with them, but I wouldn't know about it, I wouldn't like to go into that because I really wouldn't know about that.

39
11:45.000 --> 11:49.000
<v Leslie Brown>What do you remember about segregation?

40
11:49.000 --> 11:56.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>I don't remember nothing too much about that. No, I don't remember too much about that.

41
11:56.000 --> 11:56.000
<v Leslie Brown>Did you go to a Black school?

42
11:56.000 --> 11:56.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>Yeah, and then in that time it was all Black, wasn't no White.

43
11:56.000 --> 11:57.000
<v Leslie Brown>Did you ever go to the movies?

44
11:57.000 --> 12:52.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>I used to go to the movies when I was young. I didn't go there very often, I'd just go there every once in a while and that was mostly when I was living in Chester, Pennsylvania, I and my sister-in-law would go every once in a while for the pleasure part of it.

45
12:52.000 --> 12:53.000
<v Leslie Brown>But you didn't have to sit separately?

46
12:53.000 --> 13:05.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>No.

47
13:05.000 --> 13:11.000
<v Leslie Brown>So do you remember your family ever going shopping?

48
13:11.000 --> 13:31.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>Yeah, I used to ride with them on the muling wagon, they would go to infield over to the Myers store, that's where my daddy would buy all his groceries.

49
13:31.000 --> 13:31.000
<v Leslie Brown>The Myers?

50
13:31.000 --> 13:31.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>Myers.

51
13:31.000 --> 13:38.000
<v Leslie Brown>Mm-hmm.

52
13:38.000 --> 14:47.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>And back in them days, when the parents would go buy grocery, they would get these big jugs and molasses, 7, 8 dozen of herring fish, and boy, in them days they thought they had got something, I'm telling you. My daddy used to buy cheese by the block and buy a whole lot of fresh fish, because long then you could get this stuff real cheap and it wasn't nothing like deep freezers and refrigerators in those days, and they would buy blocks of ice, and that's how they would save the food.

53
14:47.000 --> 16:37.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>I've seen them wrap the ice in bags, and put it up in the fireplace, and set their food all up on there, that keep it cold. I have gotten milk, my daddy had cows, I will fill a jar of milk up every morning, tie a rope around it and let it down in the well, and at 12, I'd pull it up and drink it, it would be cold, because we didn't know what refrigerators and deep freezers were. Didn't have no electric, we used lamps, kerosene lamps, we would iron by the fire. And I used to take in washing for White people and I have stood flatfoot by the fireplace and ironed from 12 to 13 starch collars, I did all of that, that I have. And today, they got (phone rings) electric irons and they don't want to do it. I thought somebody was going to come in and get it. [INTERRUPTION 00:16:32]

54
16:37.000 --> 16:53.000
<v Leslie Brown>So can you tell me about your parents? A little bit about your mother and father? Do you remember your mom and father?

55
16:53.000 --> 17:56.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>Mm-hmm, yeah. Well, my mother and father was good parents. They were very strict, my father always told us we had to go to Sunday school in church, and he would lead us to this Sunday School every Sunday morning, and he would buy our clothes and he'd tell us he didn't buy them for us to wall them out, he bought them for us to go to service, and he salted it, yes, Lord. Every Sunday morning, he would take us to that Sunday School, and come back, and then we'd go to church. And I don't mean we were riding, we were walking, sure did, yeah, Lord.

56
17:56.000 --> 18:30.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>And I never heard my mother and father curse, I never saw either one of them under influence of liquor, and if they had an argument, we wouldn't know about it, I never seen him strike my mother, so we just lived a happy family, sure did, very.

57
18:30.000 --> 18:33.000
<v Leslie Brown>How were decisions made in your family?

58
18:33.000 --> 18:47.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>Well, my father would make decisions, my mother would always go along with whatever he said.

59
18:47.000 --> 18:52.000
<v Leslie Brown>And when you got married, how were decisions made in your family?

60
18:52.000 --> 19:58.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>About the same, my first marriage didn't work that way, he would always want his mother to be the head over me. And my first child was born, I couldn't go buy my baby clothes, his mother had to go buy the baby clothes, I couldn't go buy no groceries, she'd do the buying the grocery, and so I got tired of that. But my last husband, I and him always make them decision together, and I always bought the grocery because he never did want to buy the grocery, but I'd be the one to go to buy it. He would provide me with the money and I would go buy the grocery.

61
19:58.000 --> 20:01.000
<v Leslie Brown>What kind of work did your mother do? Did she work-

62
20:01.000 --> 20:06.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>Mm-hmm. Yeah, she worked out there in that field.

63
20:06.000 --> 20:13.000
<v Leslie Brown>How was your life different from your mother's life?

64
20:13.000 --> 20:38.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>Well, I don't see too much different in it, my mother was a hardworking woman and I came up working hard, so I don't see too much a different in it, I really don't.

65
20:38.000 --> 20:42.000
<v Leslie Brown>Did you ever hear any stories about your grandparents?

66
20:42.000 --> 21:22.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>Well, I knew my mother's mother real good, I knew her father, I was a small kid, but I can remember him very much. I was small when my daddy's parents died, I can remember her name like that, but not too much about her life.

67
21:22.000 --> 21:25.000
<v Leslie Brown>You ever hear any stories about them?

68
21:25.000 --> 21:28.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>Well, not really, no.

69
21:28.000 --> 21:33.000
<v Leslie Brown>Were they slaves?

70
21:33.000 --> 21:53.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>I think my grandmother was, my two grandmothers and my grandfather, I really think they were slaves.

71
21:53.000 --> 22:07.000
<v Leslie Brown>So did men and women do different jobs when you were farming?

72
22:07.000 --> 22:54.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>Well, yeah, in one respect they did, because the men did the plowing, and womens didn't do plowing. And then the men would fetch the peanuts, pull fodder, they'll be stripping the leaves off in the corn stalks and womens didn't do that. But so far as the shaking the peas, picking the cotton, and doing the chopping, and housing the tobacco, the women did all that as well as men.

73
22:54.000 --> 23:11.000
<v Leslie Brown>Who had responsibility for taking care of the children?

74
23:11.000 --> 23:44.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>Well, that was more my mother's job, because my daddy helped her, but I think she had little more responsibility over that than he did. So far as keeping us in line, they was together on that, but preparing they food and they clothes, that was my mother's responsibility.

75
23:44.000 --> 23:46.000
<v Leslie Brown>You said you had 11 children?

76
23:46.000 --> 23:48.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>Yeah.

77
23:48.000 --> 24:05.000
<v Leslie Brown>When did you have your first one?

78
24:05.000 --> 24:24.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>I was, I think 19 years old when I had my first child, and that was by my first husband. Yeah, I was somewhere around 19.

79
24:24.000 --> 24:26.000
<v Leslie Brown>Did you go to the hospital to deliver the baby?

80
24:26.000 --> 24:28.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>No, I delivered all my children at home.

81
24:28.000 --> 24:31.000
<v Leslie Brown>Mm-hmm. By yourself? With your mother?

82
24:31.000 --> 24:31.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>With a midwife.

83
24:31.000 --> 24:43.000
<v Leslie Brown>Who was the midwife?

84
24:43.000 --> 25:12.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>My first child was—The lady was named Mary Kinch, called Mary Kinch, and my other children was by—Oh, my God. Hey, Fia, what was that midlady named what lived in Tillery?

85
25:12.000 --> 25:13.000
<v Speaker 1>Ma?

86
25:13.000 --> 25:13.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>What that midlady name what lived in Tillery?

87
25:13.000 --> 25:14.000
<v Speaker 1>The who?

88
25:14.000 --> 25:14.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>The midlady.

89
25:14.000 --> 25:24.000
<v Speaker 1>Lived in Tillery?

90
25:24.000 --> 25:27.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>Yeah, what that name lived in Scotland Neck?

91
25:27.000 --> 25:28.000
<v Speaker 1>Anae?

92
25:28.000 --> 25:49.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>Ania, yeah, that's her, Ania. No, I never been to no hospital, I had all my children right at home.

93
25:49.000 --> 25:54.000
<v Leslie Brown>So you always had a midwife?

94
25:54.000 --> 26:19.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>Yeah, my last two children midwife was named Cozy Edmond.

95
26:19.000 --> 26:21.000
<v Leslie Brown>You know if she's still living?

96
26:21.000 --> 26:30.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>No, all of them dead.

97
26:30.000 --> 26:30.000
<v Leslie Brown>Who would get the midwife?

98
26:30.000 --> 26:30.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>My husband.

99
26:30.000 --> 26:30.000
<v Leslie Brown>He'd go?

100
26:30.000 --> 26:30.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>Yeah.

101
26:30.000 --> 26:30.000
<v Leslie Brown>Every time, he'd go?

102
26:30.000 --> 26:39.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>That's right.

103
26:39.000 --> 26:42.000
<v Leslie Brown>Did other women have their babies with a midwife also?

104
26:42.000 --> 26:49.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>Yeah.

105
26:49.000 --> 26:52.000
<v Leslie Brown>And what would happen when the baby was born?

106
26:52.000 --> 28:21.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>Well, the midwife would take the baby and cut the cord, put bands on the mother, check in, see how you doing, and if you was doing all right, they'd go home and they'd visit you the second day to see how you getting along. You be doing all right and that'd be last you see of her. And back in them days, they would always tell you not to get up and do nothing until the baby was nine days old, but I had so many children, I had to get up, I would get up and clean my children up, I sure did. And nowadays, I think they did away with all the midwives, everybody got to go to the hospital, and you got most sick young people than you had them days when I was having children.

107
28:21.000 --> 28:24.000
<v Leslie Brown>You don't remember people being very sick?

108
28:24.000 --> 29:03.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>No, not the young generation, but the young generation now is sicker than the old generation. Yeah, I had all my children at home, sometimes I wouldn't even let my husband know until it was about time for the baby, then I would call him and tell him, and he'd go get the midwife and get back, the baby would be already born.

109
29:03.000 --> 29:06.000
<v Leslie Brown>What wouldn't you tell him?

110
29:06.000 --> 29:16.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>I wouldn't tell him that I was having pains.

111
29:16.000 --> 29:18.000
<v Leslie Brown>So did that happen?

112
29:18.000 --> 29:19.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>Did it happen?

113
29:19.000 --> 29:22.000
<v Leslie Brown>That the midwife got here and the baby was born?

114
29:22.000 --> 29:58.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>Oh, yeah, several times. And the midwife would come in the door laughing, "All right, I know I won't be here long," and then she'd get in here and say, "My God, this girl already got that baby," (laughs) yes, sir, I'd have that baby right by myself, I sure did. And maybe that's what [indistinct 00:29:50] me today, I don't know.

115
29:58.000 --> 30:02.000
<v Leslie Brown>Who taught you how to raise children?

116
30:02.000 --> 31:03.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>Well, I learned with my mother, because as I came up in the world, I would help her take care of hers, so I knew what to do when I got grown already. Yeah, I helped my mother with her children, I prepared the meals, I just didn't let my mother do nothing after I was old enough, all she had to do was sit down and mend the holes in the clothes. I cooked the food, I washed the clothes, I kept the house clean and I kept the yard cleaned. And back in those days, you get a little hole in your clothes, they would call themselves patch it, but now they don't want to wear no patch clothes, but then they'll buy them and buy old patches, raggedy patches, and stick it on them.

117
31:03.000 --> 31:41.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>But back in my day, they'd patch them holes and you'd keep wearing them clothes, yeah. So that was my mother's job and I kept her house going, so when I got grown, I already knew what to do. And after I lost her, I tell you, I was proud to know that she had learnt me the way.

118
31:41.000 --> 31:44.000
<v Leslie Brown>What else did you learn from your mother?

119
31:44.000 --> 33:44.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>Well, she taught me how to be nice and kind to people, how to give. She always taught me not to look to be paid for everything I do for people, learnt me how to obey, I'll tell you that. I'm 78 years old and today, I'm willing to obey anybody if I know they telling me what's right, and I think that's the most important thing in life, is learn to obey. And in those days, my mother didn't have to knock and beat on me all the time for me to understand what I'm supposed to do, she could just look around at me and I know what she meant. But today, you look around at your child and they go laughing at you, I'm telling you. And a lot of children tell you today, that was the old time and this is the new time, but seem like to me that the old time learned you how to be more respectable than the new time is learning people, because these young crowd out here today don't respect nobody.

120
33:44.000 --> 33:44.000
<v Leslie Brown>What did you learn from your father?

121
33:44.000 --> 34:24.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>Well, the same thing, he learnt me how to work, learnt me different choices, how to work, how to obey, how to act when we go in churches and Sunday School, how to be quiet.

122
34:24.000 --> 34:48.000
<v Leslie Brown>What's the happiest thing that you remember about growing up?

123
34:48.000 --> 35:31.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>Mm-hmm. Well, I tell you, I really don't. Well, when I finished the 10th grade, I was very happy, I was a very happy girl, but I think when I went in the water and was baptized, I guess that was about the happiest day I have had, because I was a happy girl that day.

124
35:31.000 --> 35:33.000
<v Leslie Brown>What was happy about that day?

125
35:33.000 --> 36:22.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>I just felt good about joining the church, and I always felt good about even just going in the churches anyway, and I felt good that I had come to be a member. And I tell you, I stayed happy most all the time anyway, I never really had too many sad dates when I was growing up, I lived a pretty happy life when I was younger.

126
36:22.000 --> 36:29.000
<v Leslie Brown>Where were you baptized?

127
36:29.000 --> 38:09.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>Upon beyond the church, when I was baptized, they took it down in the swamp, I was baptized down in the swamp. And I can remember so well, it was so many people, mens were sitting all up in the trees so they could see that baptism. In those days, baptism was wonderful, so many people would be there, but now they just baptized you all in a little pool and can't but one or two see it no way, so the people don't bother about even being there, just a small crowd. But back in them days, it was somebody at them baptize, and them old brothers and sisters would be singing the hymns and ooh, you could just hear the voices ringing down there, and that sound good to me, because like I say, I just always loved to sing. Yeah, that was one thing I dearly loved.

128
38:09.000 --> 38:12.000
<v Leslie Brown>Were there other people baptized at the same time that you were?

129
38:12.000 --> 38:16.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>Oh, yeah.

130
38:16.000 --> 38:20.000
<v Leslie Brown>Can you describe for me how a baptism—

131
38:20.000 --> 39:16.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>Well, they would have us dressed in long dresses and a white towel on our head, and they'd have me instead of lead you down in the water, no, you go down forward till you get to the minister, and when you get to the minister, then they turn you around and you be facing the congregation, and he would say the words that he had to say, and carry on, and bring you up. Yeah, it was happy days back then, very happy.

132
39:16.000 --> 39:22.000
<v Leslie Brown>It sounds like a lot of your life though, was centered around the church.

133
39:22.000 --> 39:56.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>Yeah, I loved the church, I tell you. And not only them two churches, I was going to other churches too, I mean walking, I walked to those churches. I see the Creek Baptist Church, I would go to Sunday School, come back home, change my clothes, and get in that road, and walk all the way down, come back. I sure Did

134
39:56.000 --> 39:59.000
<v Leslie Brown>You remember the church having homecomings?

135
39:59.000 --> 40:01.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>Oh, yeah.

136
40:01.000 --> 40:01.000
<v Leslie Brown>What were they like?

137
40:01.000 --> 40:45.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>In my mother's day, they cook all that food, put in them baskets and boxes, and they have them long tables built all the way across the church ground, and have all that food up there, because they have homecomings now, but they don't be out under them trees going on like they did in them days. They have it on the inside of the churches now, but way back in them days, there wouldn't be nothing but mules and wagons on the church ground and them people would be having a time.

138
40:45.000 --> 40:45.000
<v Leslie Brown>What did the men do? You said the women cooked, what did the men do?

139
40:45.000 --> 40:45.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>Well, they would help them prepare the food. Come on in.

140
40:45.000 --> 40:45.000
<v Speaker 2>Hey.

141
40:45.000 --> 40:45.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>Hey, sit down.

142
40:45.000 --> 41:46.000
<v Leslie Brown>Well, is there anything else about the church that you'd like to tell us?

143
41:46.000 --> 41:50.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>I guess that's about it. Yeah, that's about it.

144
41:50.000 --> 41:55.000
<v Leslie Brown>Mrs. Thompson, do you have a favorite phrase or a favorite quote?

145
41:55.000 --> 41:58.000

41:58.000 --> 42:09.000
<v Leslie Brown>A favorite phrase, or a favorite quote, or a favorite verse from the Bible?

147
42:09.000 --> 42:21.000
<v Addie Pierce Thompson>Well, the Lord is my shepherd and I shall not want.

148
