Nobie.  They never had any children.  Fred worked for a manufacturing
company until just before he was ready to retire the plant closed down.

1177. Lamar Watson Carpenter

Dad and Uncle Fred left Alabama during the 2nd World War and ended up in
Southern Calif.  Dad worked for Herco Foundry, McDonnell Douglas and the
last twenty some years for the So. Calif. Gas Co. until his retirement
to Las Vegas.
My father walks on water as far as we are concerned.  Strong, corny-joke
loving, helpful to everyone and can do anything.  Brought us up the old
fashion way yet gave us enough rope to feel we were independent.  A
religious man.  Baptist.  I could never say enough about my dad.
