I want to see pictures of my Pappaw Jasper Collins. Off the top of my head, Jasper had Loren, and Ulysses, Lyss had Lennie Lee Collins Read, who had Carolyn Read Brister, who had Donna Cheryl Brister, and myself, Karen Leigh Brister. Am I missing somebody in that line? or am I just afraid to admit that I am old? I don’t really know what he looks like, I saw a picture of him in his Masonic days, and he looked like the devil incarnate. I guess he chilled as he got older. His eyes had seen things, I guess. I just want to know more about him because I feel a connection with him.
