MR. WATERTOWNToday is my precious brother's birthday. How many?
Long ago the Lord blessed our family with a baby boy.
What fun after those girls ! He soon became the apple
of every one's eye, including Miss Grace Hill, my 2nd
grade teacher, who lived in the other side of the "duplex"
that we lived in. She fell so in love with this little baby.
This birth became a longtime friendship - fellowship,
between this baby boy and the community he was to
serve for many years and in many capacities as the
years rolled by. This longtime fellowship that returned
his best self, reflected like a two-way mirror, the joy
others got from just having him around. This was
received proudly by his family. Thank you for your love
of our family and thank you for the gift of perseverance
that keeps old friendships new. This is why there was a
bridge named "The Edsel Cordell Floyd Bridge" This is
why he is continued to be called on for history of this
little town, that is why Miss Grace Hill loved this baby
and why she wanted Cordell put in his name, that is
why he has been called, "Mr. Watertown" down through
the years.
That is why I adore him.

Happy Birthday, Uncle Edsel. You are so much of my past memories. You and your beautiful wife always trilled me to see the handsome couple as a little girl. You were the movie stars in my life and still are. I pray the Lord gives you a great day for you and Margie to celebrate all his blessings throughout the years. Thank you for teaching me all those great hymns of the faith. Love, Judy
