Nave Family

Jimmy Boggs with his crop duster plane in May of 1955. On June 1 he was killed while seeding rice south of Newport. The elevator cable broke on the plane and it turned upward and then back straight down into the ground according to witnesses. Mother came and got me out of the cotton field behind the Davenport house where I was chopping cotton. Jimmy was 27 years old, having been born in 1927. Note that the story the newspapers got was quite different from the story that was told to us. I don't know which is correct.

A happy picture of Shirley, Suzanne and Jim in the yard of the Tuckerman home.

Our Mother, Naomi Nave, continued her work in the school lunchroom at East Newport School and had her picture taken at school. The other picture seems to be at about the same time.
