The Life and Times of Donald P. Golden, Jr.
A Life in Eras

My dad was born in Graybow, Louisiana

My dad was born in Graybow, Louisiana. Graybow no longer exists. His family followed the logging business all over southwestern Louisiana and southeastern Texas and Graybow must have been a ‘flash in the pan’ logging town.

There are a couple of family stories about my dad.

Lois and Hazel (his sisters) dressed him up and treat him as their doll.

The family was driving home on a rough road in a car with a rumble seat. When they reached home, my dad was missing. He had bounced out of the rumble seat. They retraced their path and found him walking, crying, toward them. miles north of Beaumont.
