Sharing A Memory About Billy

My former husband Bob took this funny/wet picture of Billy Boykin, Jr., at Brown's Point Hunting Club, Kings Point Island, around the new year about 19 years ago. Bob and I, Billy and his wife Lynn, were the only ones at the camp hunting. All the other hunters were smart and got out in time. The Mississippi River and the backwaters had risen, and the camp was slowly going underwater. We left our vehicles safely on the road and returned to the deer camp to hunt some more. When we got ready to leave the following day, the water was so high that we decided to elect Billy to go and get the boat so we could get out. To get the boat, he had to wade into the cold, frigid water to the other side. It was not funny then for him, but as you can see, he was trying to remove his wet clothes and change them into dry ones. Billy had harvested a deer the day before, and we had to get our guns, etc., out of there. It was an adventure for sure! The look on his face tells it all! His favorite song he would always sing was "I Feel Good,"....but I don't think he was feeling so good at this point in time to sing "I Feel Good"! More like, "I Feel Brrrr Cold!
