I know a little something about that, only its second hand information, so
you might keep that in mind. <grin> My grandparents owned the fishing camp
down on the Warrior River where Tallulah's daddy frequently went to fish.
My father grew up there on that river at the fishing camp. While Tallulah's
father was often at the river during the day, I've been told that Tallulah
sometimes came to the river during the evening. I don't know any other
particulars about what she did or didn't do, but I was told that people
sometimes met on the river in the evening and had little impromptu parties
that included some gambling and drinking. I was told there were some close
calls, but Tallulah never showed up until after Daddy was gone, and was out
of there before he got back bright and early for the next day's fishing.
