He was Reginald Lloyd Jackson, called Hot by his mother, a poor Mississippi country boy from Salem Community, near Macon, who left home at the age of twelve to work for wages. During this time he finished his elementary education. He worked his way through his freshman and sophomore years at the Noxubee County Agricultural High School where he also played football. He moved up to Number 9, AR, for a job at the invitation of an older brother. Later his parents moved up to Number 8, MO, a few miles away, and he moved back in with them and enrolled in Cooter High School for his junior year. There he met Dorris Frazier. He dropped out and went to work. She graduated and went to work. After a tumultuous courtship they married and moved to Number 9, where he worked in a company store and she worked as a bookkeeper. After World War II started he volunteered for the Marines to stay out of the Army. After boot camp he was stationed at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, where he managed the PX. Dorris came up for a visit and got a job with the Williamsburg Savings Bank--quite a story in itself. Their mothers visited them in Brooklyn--also quite a story in itself. His father was killed in an automobile accident, and the |arrangements| he made to attend his father's funeral caused him to be reassigned. He wound up as a member of the 31st Replacement Draft, 5th Marine Division, and was involved in the Iwo Jima campaign. He survived the campaign with hardly a scratch, but was scarred psychologically by events there. At the end of his enlistment, Hot went into partnership with his brother in a hardware store in Morehouse, MO. They were heavily involved with extended family activities. Hot had a serious flashback and Dorris barely survived it. He drank significantly to counter the lingering problems of Iwo Jima. Later he sold his part of the store and worked as a wholesale hardware salesman, first in Macon and later in Tupelo, MS. By this time they had two daughters. Dorris was lured to work as a bookkeeper for his older brother at the Wayside Gin Co. of Morehouse, MO. Hot went along and became the assistant manager. Again they became heavily involved with extended family activities. Her mother kept the daughters while they both worked. Hot's brother was seriously burned in an office explosion, and he saved his brother's life by getting him out of the burning building. After recovering from his burns, his brother was in an automobile accident. Although his brother recovered from both of these incidents, the tasks of making Wayside run fell more and more to Hot and Dorris. His brother died in 1962 and Hot and Dorris were retained on a temporary basis to run the operation until permanent arrangements were made--the owner intended to sell the gin. Hot borrowed enough money to buy Wayside. He and Dorris ran the gin and associated agricultural businesses for almost seventeen years, before selling out, paying off all outstanding loans, and banking the balance. Dorris was the inside individual and Hot was the idea man and decision maker. They worked as a team. Each had a long suit that covered the other one's short suit. During this time Hot's drinking slowed, but did not stop. She became more tolerant of his problems. They moved to Springfield, MO, where Dorris cared for her divorced daughter's children and Hot became involved in several entrepreneurial types of enterprises. All of this time Hot had been carrying the commandment |thou shall not kill| on his back from the Iwo Jima campaign. He was just not able to reach internal peace. Finally, on a boat dock on Table Rock Lake he came to terms with his God and achieved the long sought internal peace. He died of cancer in mid-1995. During the last six months of his life he made the appropriate preparations for his death and for Dorris' well being thereafter.
