Elbert & Lillie Mae Dean
"I married and the Jaynes kids played cards, a game called "Flinch." When I came home to teach the little ones still at home to play cards, our mom would cry. We asked why, and she said that cards were gambling. I thought how naive I had been. So dad at that time brought out his French harp, and began to play, and to teach us to do the "Charleston," a dance we had just heard of, but never seen. Yes, our mother did a lot of crying then, but we enjoyed it even though we never went to a dance or even a birthday party because dad feared some kids would bring in alcohol. Years later when he told us (on a fit occasion) that he understood all the possibilities of trouble because 'he was a kid once,' only then did we know that he had been there and done that, but he wanted to be sure we didn't." (recollection by Maureen Dean Jaynes)
