My mother, who is now 93, was telling me about this, just today. She grew up in the area in the 1930’s and she remembers Mr. Stuart very well from her childhood days. She said whenever they would see him walking around town, on those occasions when he did venture out for supplies, he was always barefoot, even in the dead of winter. And she recalled him being especially kind to all the children. Thank you so much for sharing this story!
I think your mom’s story is cool as well. I appreciate you getting in touch.
