Abstract:

"Ford Worthy is a southern gentleman raised in Washington Park, Washington during the 1920s--1930s. I know of no one else his age who can recreate their Washington childhood experiences in such detail. Ford married my cousin, the late Isabel Blount Carter Worthy, also of Washington. I met with him, his grandson Thomas Hester and my son Samuel, at his home in Raleigh shortly after his wife passed away in October 2021.--Sam Mordecai, Washington native" The article is in the form of an oral history interview.
