Not many people know that Jack's given name is really Morgan Luther.
Sometime during his childhood he picked up Jack as a nickname. No one
really knows why. He was a rambunctious young boy. He talks about rolling
tires off of the hill at Jim Short (a county deputy), because Jim was
after him for skipping school. Jack was in kindergarten at the time. The
reason Jack didn't go to school was because his mother (Freelove), had
put a dress on him because his pants were in the washing machine.
Phyllis had a pretty normal childhood for that period of time. The biggest
problem she had was walking in her sleep. She talks about getting her
younger sister Tincy, ready for school and pulling her along the road they had to
walk, while her feet would stick to the ice through the holes in her shoe.
Jack and Phyllis met while Phyllis was a nurse at the old Fleming hospital.
Jack would clean out barns all day to have money to take her (and sometimes
her whole family), to the movies. When Jack met Phyllis's father for the
first time, Phyllis's sister's (Geraldine), boyfriend was there for the first time too.
Manuel ask the boys who their fathers were. Jack responded by saying
Abraham Linclon Johnson, the other boy (Bennett) said his fathers name was George
Washington Mullins. Manuel thought they were playing a joke on him, and he
was mad. They soon got things straightened out.
