Powerful Last Picture of Roy Head (with the cane)
From James Keith Head I have this final picture of Roy Head, Raymond's twin brother. They are my double cousins, Costners and Bells. I'm very grateful to have met so many of them in 2007 in Banner, Mississippi. I was 71, and it was the first time I had been in a room with men who looked like me.

The more I look at this the more moved by it I am. Can you imagine a better picture to be the last one taken of you? Here he is, an old man, 83, a teen-age soldier in World War II, a farmer, with a still-living twin brother, listening to old friends make music.
