Fall is probably my favorite season. Some of my favorite foods come in season: pumpkin, apples, squash, warm stews and soups.
One of my fondest memories is going to the Streeter area with Mawmaw and Pawpaw Halstead. Pawpaw made a crate that tied to the front of his Jeep which he used to put his beagle in. You might think, "that's odd", but it seemed so normal at the time -the radiator kept his beagle warm. We would all take KFC and park along the road, eat and admire the foliage.
It's a simple memory, but one that lingers.

The following was posted courtesy of a follower of the blog. The information (I believe) was taken from the Register Herald newspaper:

Death: Jul. 9, 2013
Streeter
Summers County

Charles Jackson "Jack" Pack, age 87, went to be with the Lord on July 9, 2013 at 4:21 AM at his home in Streeter, WV.
Born on February 19, 1926 at Streeter, WV he was the son of the late Pearl B. and Ruby V. Pack.
Jack was a member of the Bluestone View Primitive Baptist Church on Ellison Ridge, WV.
He retired as a self-employed timberman after working many years for the Basham Brothers Co. He continued to work in gardening and farming and was an avid hunter. Jack was a WWII veteran having served in the 7th fleet of the United States Navy.
Jack was preceded in death by his loving wife of 51 years, Annabelle Wooten Pack; an infant son, Charles Dale Pack; a daughter, Sharon Elaine Pack; two brothers, Curtis Pack and James Pack and a sister, Alice Francise Okes.

The family is grateful for the ceaseless loving care extended to him, especially in his last weeks here on earth, by his son and daughter-in-law, Herman and Karen Pack and grandson, Ernest (Timmy) McGraw II. The family would also like to thank Hospice of Southern West Virginia for their support and compassion.
