I am Suzan Twyman McMinn , a great niece of James Jackson . I spent several days vacation with him and 2 of his sisters grma Mary Logue and Margaret Bishop. We had such a good time , even though I was only 16 I enjoyed everything we did. It rained almost all our trip to Wash even the day Uncle James loaded up the motor home and took us to the beach. I went in the ocean anyways. He thought I had lost my marbles...lol. Finally it quit raining the day we left, I will never forget that trip as long as I live. I loved that grouchy ol teddy bear with all my heart......
