When I cross
the railroad tracks here and look south I think of the Kennesaw House/Marietta
Museum of History, Train Depot's ticket
window, Visitors' Center, THE GREAT LOCOMOTIVE CHASE (1862), and Hazel the
Tailor.
Hazel was a
little short bald-headed quiet man. He
had a little workroom on the ground floor of the Kennesaw House.
Back in my
high school days the fad was pegged pants, mostly Levis. Pegged pants were taken up so the leg had no
breathing room. They were a tight
squeeze all way down to your ankles.
Lord knows how we squeezed our feet through. If you wanted pegged pants Hazel was your
man.
The railway
ticket office held special memories because my friend Van Callaway worked
there. If Van needed movie money he
would visit his dad Carl Callaway at the train depot and receive movie money
and a lecture.
