I grew up in Virginia near the mouth of the James and York rivers. I
remember helping my grandpa, wonderful friend and grandpa shuck
oysters. We would put the shucked oysters in quart jars. It was slow
to fill those jars at first because every other one went into our
mouth and down the old tubes. After a bit the jars would fill a little
faster. What a wonderful childhood. No money but great fun and of
course youth at about 7 or 8 years old. Grandpa died when I was 10.
But his memory will never die as long as I am here.
