Remembrances |
|
“What year she moved to Redwood Valley for the first time I don't remember, but I think it may have been 1972. Jim, looking unusually boyish, vulnerable, and a little embarrassed, let us know she would be coming, probably wouldn't think much of us (the Temple), wasn't religious, and not to make a fuss over her if she should decide to attend a service, which she probably wouldn't do regularly.
When I first saw her I was in disbelief that this tiny, wiry woman could be Jim's mother. Yet we all got used to her, venerated her from a distance, and a few became close to her. But Lynetta grew on you. When she came, she sat quietly in a back row, as if auditing a class she was not enrolled in. She was truly benign in her attitude towards others, but fiercely independent and sharp as a tack, and from her expression you sensed she could be scathing in her opinions. Only recently I learned she once said, "It's no honor to be followed by sheep" to a member who worked at a bookstore she visited weekly in Ukiah. Jim was her only child. ” - Kathryn Barbour |
