    Notes:

    Roy had no children. He and Odis Caylor grew up together in Townsend, Tennessee.
    They were best friends, and even though they fought like cats and dogs, either
    of them would take up for the other.

    There are many stories Odis has told about growing up with Roy. One of the best
    is about the giant flip [slingshot] they made. They carved a giant flip, and put
    a long rubber band on it. The flip was so big it was all one of them could do to
    hold it as the other put a rock in the rubber band and backed up as far as he
    could, then "let er go"! The first mistake they made was deciding to try out
    their new flip at school! They knew they were not supposed to have a flip at
    school, but boys will be boys.

    During lunch, they found a good flat rock and with Roy holding and Odis pulling
    they tried out their new flip! Odis said he backed up and pulled as hard as he
    could, when something hit him on the bottom hard enough to almost lift him off
    the ground. He let the rock go, and felt another blow on his rear. He doubled
    up his fist and swung around, missing the school teacher's nose by inches.

    It seems Roy was so intent on watching how far the rock was traveling, yelling
    "watch her go Odie, watch her go!", that he didn't hear Miss. Angie Caylor come
    up behind him. When the paddle connected, he thought it was Odis and didn't
    realize it was Miss. Angie until it was nearly too late.

    Needless to say, the big flip didn't get another try, but was always the one
    remembered.
