As I lay sleeping, I had such a dream of the Rag Man of my childhood! It was so hauntingly real that I grabbed my iPhone to look it up!

I can still see the old Colored Man as he came thru the neighborhoods of Mid-City, calling out “rag man” and I can hear the clip- clop of his mule as he drove the old wooden wagon down the streets.

Times were so different back in the war years, and every now and again I am fortunate to be blessed with these very old memories that I grew up with.
