Storyteller Monroe Brannon, although a native of Louisiana, was a long time resident of Gary, Texas. Mr. Brannon shared his fantastic memory of events and people which go back to the 1890s when he was two and half years old. He was keen observer of all that he saw and heard and forgot little. And so he was able to provide stories on a wide range of people and activities, notably his work as a druggist and postmaster. All that he asked was a day's notice to collect his thoughts on a particular subject. (BZ)
