Today would have been my Grandma Reynolds' birthday. I have so many fond memories of her. Annie Eliza Slaydon Reynolds was one of the kindest women that I have ever known. When she was around 12 (maybe younger), her mother passed away and she quit school to stay at home to take care of the kids and the house. When her father remarried, her step-mother encouraged her to go back to school. Not sure how many more years of schooling she got. Her home was always open to us. I am sure that we probably drove her a little bit crazy because there were kids everywhere, all the time. I do not remember her ever raising her voice to any of us. Teresa probably could answer that question better since she lived with her. Grandma Reynolds had 9 children. She lost her second-born, Basil in World War II. I often think about what she and Grandpa must have felt like when they got the telegram that their oldest son was dead.
To know Grandma was to love Grandma. Let's go down memory road: Sandra Reynolds Steve Bonnie Hundley Basil Hundley Andy Hundley Anita Amos Lori Irby Tonya Reynolds Myers Heather Turlington Moses Carl Turlington Jenifer Reynolds (Joey) Tony Coward Spencer Bullington Nancy Hundley Anna Rigney
Deidre Reynolds Stone The Slaydon's. Grandma spelled it with a "d". Some others spell it with a "t". Uncle Kenneth for one. Cole's middle name is Slaydon and I labored over how to spell it. After talking to Mama (Sandra) and Nancy it was spelled with a "d". Now he tells me he wishes that was his first name. He loves it.
Sandra Reynolds
Sandra Reynolds Mother was the best person I have ever known. She always said, "If you can't say something good about someone , don't say anything at all. She followed this rule herself. I was her foot person, I took care of her feet for years and was happy to do it, she appreciated it so much. Glad to do a little something for her after all she did for me. I can remember her reading books to me when I was a little girl, guess that's where I got my love of reading. She never raised her voice to anyone, always so meek, still think of her every day. Wish I had kept all the wonderful informative letters that she wrote me while I lived in Newport News and NY. She wrote to me just about every week. Loved those letters. She told me about Teresa climbing the tree in the front yard in Feb., with only her panties on. It was sleeting out and she wouldn't come down. Mother though it was so funny. Will stop but I could write a book about our sweet grandma Annie.

| Notes |
- I wrote a poem called, Precious Memories about Wilbur.
Here it is
His leaving has left an empty spot within my heart
where no one can ever take his place
but thank God for the precious memories
and a mind that can conjure up his face.
He filled many shoes for me as I was growing up.
That of an uncle, a close friend,
a dear brother, and so many times a loving father.
To friends his ear, he was always willing to lend.
He saw beauty where others saw none,
His talent as an artist was well known,
He heard music when some heard nothing,
He was misunderstood and sometimes walked alone.
He would listen to every ones problems
and not a criticism would he offer
but let you talk your way through them
until the problems seemed softer.
The children remember him for all the silly times
he made them laugh, these memories we can never rob
for he loved to tease dogs and children and ask,
"Do you think the rain will hurt the rhubarb?"
He loved and cared for so many of us
with his gentleness of a butterfly.
As long as we have these precious memories,
the Wilbur we knew will never die.

I thought of the story I told you about Allen Wilbur
Reynolds, my uncle the painter. You took a picture of the
painting in Bassett. It's the one that has a boy sitting
on a horse. This was at Dr. Richardson's office in Mt.
Valley, VA. They was Wilbur. He was running in the hall
at school (Callands school) bare-foot and got a huge
splinter in his foot. When he got home his brother, Basil
I. Reynolds (was killed in WWII) took him to the Dr.
leading him on horseback. The heavy man was the Dr. I
meant to take you up to see the Dr's place. It was
restored by Max Kendall and sold to the present owner who
lives there. It's only a mile above CLCC. Wilbur was an
interesting fellow, very handsome and very talented. He
taught himself to paint and also to play the mandolin. He
was very good at both. He had a crazy since of humor and
his best friend from childhood, Clifton Aaron was just as
crazy. Clift lived in Roanoke and only visited Callands in
the summer as a child. He came to stay with his Aunt
Tabbie Aaron Coward but usually stayed with our family.
The two of them learned to play musical instruments from
mail order instructions. They build a small cabin with a
fireplace and slept there and cooked over the fireplace
when they were kids. They visited each other a couple of
times a year after they married and always sat around
playing the guitar and mandolin. They mailed an old dirty
sock back and forth to each other for years on Christmas
and birthdays. They were like two crazy kids all their
lives. They both died young. Wilbur was only 62 and Clift
was younger that that. Wilbur also build an airplane. Of
course it wouldn't fly but it was quite the conversation
piece, since it was covered in canvas and he had it hanging
in a tree. One person could sit in it. He loved to tease
children by pretending he had a baby chick in his hands and
a lot of other crazy things. A very good friend of his,
George Wells, who played the guitar with him had a
recording made into an album in memory of Wilbur. They had
taped themselves often and the tape has children talking in
the background but it is a great keepsake in memory of
Wilbur.

Wilbur Reynolds was a painter. His paintings can be seen

Sandra Reynolds Wilbur painted this picture from a memory. He was running down the hall of Callands School, barefoot of course when he got a large splinter in his foot. He went home on the bus because there wasn't a way to let parents know from school, no phones of any kind, and even if they had found out, no way to pick him up, no cars. When he got home, his older brother, Basil saddled up the old horse and led him a few miles up the road to Dr Richardson's home-office where the splinter was removed while Wilbur say on the horse. TRUE STORY.
