My name is Darlene, and my cousin is Becca. We met Jude in 2008, when we went to trace our uncles steps in New Orleans, of 40 years. He was very good friends with Jude. Our Uncle,s name was Smitty. (Marchall Smith.)Jude would give him the cross word puzzle every day. Smitty would work it and put it, folded up in between the post and rain spout where Jude is set up playing chess every day. So Becca and I visited Jude 2 times that visit. He is delightful, and full of sweetness for his friends.
