The Imperial Turtle of Dixie was my Pawpaw, Jimmie Morris. 💚 If he initiated you in 1971, I'm guessing that you were in Mobile, and likely a member of the Shaw High School Marching Band....? Or perhaps you were somehow involved with the Senior Bowl? Am I right? ☺️ Of course, I was also initiated by my beloved Imperial Turtle of Dixie, though he had my cousin ask me the questions in private, as he was much too proper a man to discuss such things with his Granddaughter. Pawpaw died peacefully in his sleep several years ago at my parents' home in Ellijay, GA, but not before he lived a full life with an incredible legacy. His wife, my Meemaw, Margret Morris, left us a few years later. I miss them terribly, so your post warmed my heart. ❤️
