The Douglass Violin

It was very nice to see your entry about the "flying Haiglerites", Roger. You don't remember me, because we left Haigler in 1966 (maybe before you were even born). I am Sherri’s sister, and I remember your parents and Lorenzo. My mother, Alice Gregory taught your brother, Lloyd in school about 1963.

My dad's favorite wintertime hobby was fixing and playing violins (he played very well). He was given a badly smashed violin by Mr. Douglass, who, I believe, was your grandfather. Dad put it all back together and it was just like new (had a very nice sound). I thought you might enjoy hearing that story.
