My
uncle Paris Douglas
"Doug" Hunter
(1916-1986). Like most of his brothers
he worked at Lockheed and loved sports. One
time he was seriously considered for playing professional baseball.
When I was a
kid I looked forward to see him because he knew how to get my giggle box going. He had a sharp wit with a quick response.
I think he had a nickname for all his nieces and nephews. I was "Tedo", who I think was a
wrestler in the 1940s. My sister Bonnie
was "Bonami". Thus, he gave "Bonami" a facebook pseudo name.
He married
Lola Jean Turner (1918-1996. I thought
Lola Jean was a 100% family person until I went to the Marietta Public Library,
branch upstairs in a metal building at Larry Bell Park and accidentally saw her with a group of kids around her
telling a story with enthusiasm..
Doug and Lola
Jean had four kids, which three grew into adulthood. The fourth one, Jeanne in 1946, apparently
died at birth or shortly Afterwards.
