| Biographical/Historical Note |
The following is a video clip from an oral history interview with Floyd Fletcher. "My wife, this is a story I tell about cooking: we had been married about two weeks. She had a headache and she had a formula of tea and coke somehow, whatever it was, I don't know. She says, 'Will you heat me some hot water?' We had a steam kettle that whistled, you know. So, I put the tea kettle on, she had a headache and I put the steam kettle on and I didn't do that right, so that was the last cooking I did for 49 years. That's almost a hundred percent true." |
