Manuscripts in Progress: born in a hollar

Well, this man calls his wife and himself, Bonnie and Clyde. He is a neighbor in Dutch Flat and he told me he just finished his memoirs. He was born in hmmm was it West Virginia? Where, he said, the Carter family lived. I supposed he meant the banjo types, not the nut types. He was orphaned, he said, at eight. He just doesn't know where to put the commas, as he only had a fifth grade education. So, of course, I said I would edit it for him. Only two hundred pages including photos. It intrigued me. We shall see. So many manuscripts in progress around this world!
