Uncle Jimmy was my favorite and the favorite of many in the town of Yarmouth. He was very simple and asked for little from anyone. His passion were the trains going through town and the fire department. We used to take walks along the railroad tracks outside my Aunt Mildred's house on Mill St., where he and my Uncle Ray lived upstairs, and talk for the longest time. He seemed like a little boy to me. My mother explained that when he was young he wrote with his left hand. The school teacher forced him to write with his right hand and he was never the same.
