He’d sit down to the lunch table
and l(K>k for the turnip greens and

wouldn’t m‘ss the kick-off. I might
say that we children did some
times groan under our breath at
lunch on game days, for the sight
and smell of the greens was not
always received p.ea.',antly. We
just didn’t appreciate it in those
dayvS. But, then, we’d be off to the
game, all of us witli turnip greens
inside, and nobody would be play

st; nds than my latlier. Sometimes,
however, if our luck wa*; so good
