FROM THE BOOKS
  
   "I was the seventh child of the Barrow family. You know old people always say there's something lucky about seven, and I believe it. I was a healthy boy, weighed about eleven pounds at birth. Momma was a big woman, my father was a big man. We come from big people, mostly blacks, some whites, and a few powerful Indians; put that all together and I guess you get something."
