Jmonique.4. Chapter a51. This chapter involves the visit by me, and brothers Tim and Dave, to our dad in Smithville, TX, in January 1997, a year and a few months before he died. I kept a record of everything we said during the visit. It was pretty funny. It's a 36-page chapter that here I slashed and burned with huge edits and corrections, so that I could include its diminutive surviving few pages into Jmonique.14g. I performed the surgery on April 11, 2015. 36 (seriously abrogated) pages.
