Be Thou At Peace

Norton Lacy Parks used to come visit his grandparents who lived next door to my family in Charleston, Illinois. We were about the same age, I was born in 1927 and he in 1928. I always was very happy when his Mother Fern (?) and Norton came to visit Mr. and Mrs. Parks. His grandma was famous in my estimation for her sugar cookies. She kept Norton and me supplied. After a few years the elder Parks moved to a different part of town, but if Norton was coming I was allowed to go to the new house to play. That house had a player piano and he and I would sit on the bench and pump the pedals to make the music--he took one pedal and I took the other. I have happy memories of those occasions when Norton was in town and have wondered many times through the years what ever happened to him. From reading the other Eulogy posted in 2004 I now know of his career and life work. Best wishes to his widow and family. Mary Moore Plane |
