A Remembering
Errett Stepp was a friend of my father J. Hillis Hunter. With his father Errett had a grocery store on the Old Morrison Road. Liberty Lane ran by the side of the store. In the late 40s, I used to ride my horse, Rose Carrie, to the store and we would both have a Coca Cola. Sometimes Campbell Smoot, Jr. would be with me on his own horse as well as Henry Boyd, Jr. on his pony. We had to go over a railroad bridge to get there. And I wonder now what our horses would have done had a train passed under us. The Stepps had earlier had a store just across the old bridge (Now the Frank Clement Bridge) on the old, old Morrison Road where the highway divided into the Viola Road and the old, old Morrison Road. Liberty Lane ran from between the old Morrison Road and the old Viola Road at Stepps second store.
I used to ride with Carroll and Jack, Errett's sons, also. Their home was on old, old Morrison Road in sight of the store.
