So another chapter in the life of Rayburn Watley ends. Nadine and Roger didn’t get back to West Virginia for another three weeks. The Ozman spent four weeks at the hospital in Rapid City. His Harley disappeared while he was there. Nobody heard from JoLynn again.

Rayburn Watley was and still is a name to reckon with in Virginia. Greta is teaching Wanda how to make grits.
