I had heard it from Aunt Madeline as well as Daddy. From Bill Padgetts note Daddy (William H. Everitt) 1909-1974 was at Marianna High 1927-1932 and apparently was about 23 when he graduated no later than 1932. Mama (Lucy Lee Carlton Everitt) was born 1 Apr 1920 (1920-1973) so she probably graduated around 1938. Jamie Lee wasn't sure how they met but Bob & Daddy both worked at the Boys School with Arther Dozier so they may have met through Bob Hatton. Mama and Daddy were married on April 1939 the month before Bob & Jimmi Hatton got married. Jamie Lee said that Mama got married shortly after she graduated Daddy told me that he had an athletic scholorship (I think) to a distant college (maybe in the Carolina's?). I think he may have been there with Arthur Dozier (founder? of the reform school in Marianna). I don't remember why but Daddy didn't stay there long. Maybe just like me it was too for from home. I also seem to remember Daddy telling me about he and Arthur (maybe others) taking a tour of the country somewhere during that time. Joanna would you print this out for your Dad and I bet he could tell us a lot more?
