Bill Cady, The Early Years … by Bill Cady 313 Grandma‟s. It was the week of Halloween and got pretty cold at night. Unc told me he‟d take me to a football game at Sexton, and I was really excited. I was his favorite, and he paid very little attention to that David thing at all. After the game we were walking home, a distance of less than ten blocks, and I saw a mailbox a few houses from Grandma‟s. The name was FUCKETT, and it made me laugh. When Unc asked why I was laughing, I told him. To my surprise, he used his leather gloves to beat the shit out of me, so I ran away to Grandma‟s and called Mom. She wasn‟t too terribly surprised, and arrived very soon to pick me up. In the interim, Unc talked with Grandma and learned that was the house of her neighbor, Mr. Puckett, so he went back and looked. Sure enough, some vandal playing a Halloween prank scratched off the loop of the P in his name. When he got back, I wanted nothing to do with him. I was scared and he was a big fuckin‟ bully I didn‟t want to have beating my ass anymore. That was all it took. Unc went out, on foot, and got about as shitfaced as a man can be. Then, sometime in the middle of the night, he was pounding on our door. He begged for a chance to apologize to me, and my folks finally made me come out and listen to him, so they could get some sleep after he left. He was sobbing like a baby with snot running out of his nose and he even got some of it on my pj‟s. It was disgusting. I listened to him blubber a while, then talked my way free. Once in my bedroom, I got rid of my pj tops and slept in just the bottoms the rest of the night. Unc asked Mom if he could take me with him once on a Saturday afternoon. I think he tied one on the night before. When we got to the auto repair business his friend Leviticus, Limited 33-0505963
Bill Cady, The Early Years … by Bill Cady 314 owned, the friend had an ice chest full of Pabst Blue Ribbon beer. I was in awe when Unc picked up the first one, a twelve ounce bottle with a twist off cap, and drank it all in one huge swig. He had two more in the next ten or fifteen minutes before we left. As we drove along in the Willy‟s he‟d borrowed from Mom, Unc took out a pack of cigarettes and handed „em to me. Then he told me to light one for him. I wasn‟t too big on the idea of being disobedient, especially with him, but I simply had to refuse. He wouldn‟t believe me at first, saying he knew I smoked already, but I held fast to what I‟ said. He eventually lit his own, which made me pretty damned glad. He came to our house once when Mom and Dad were fighting. Verbal only. One more mark to the prick‟s credit was he never hit Mom. I would‟ve taken him on, no matter what my age, if he ever did that. However, they were still going at it when Unc arrived. He may have even had a couple by then, since it was already dark. In any event, my old man said something pretty nasty to Mom, I guess, and Unc went running out to the kitchen. I saw that big, muscular arm cock back. I watched his huge, hammy fist descend toward my old man‟s face. I heard the thud, like a raw roast landing on a cement floor, when his fist landed. I can‟t say if my old man made any noise, or not. All I could hear was Mom‟s screech, “Darrell, you son-of-a-bitch! Leave him alone!” We were at the cottage one weekend, my folks, that David thing, me, Unc, and his wife at the time. I think that was Helen, but I‟m not sure. Unc and Helen slept out on the screened in porch, where a bed was made from a fold-out couch. It was Saturday. On Friday night, they all went into Lake George, 1.7 miles away on a sandy road. It was the closest thing to a town for twenty miles in any direction. Leviticus, Limited 33-0505963
