Catherine Adele McCloud (Bennett)
Tommy, I found a site that has Edward's poems.
Google: Poetry by Edward McCloud at Spillwords.com
There are a couple of poems listed.
Edward would be very happy that you asked to read his poems.
Edward remained in Jacksonville and our sister is in Talley. I moved to Maryland and found out what county life is all about and I love it!
My family's favorite story to tell on me is when I used to take our daughter to a little one lane road just down the hill from us and let her ride her bike. The road is along the back barns of Shamrock Farms. (owned by the Steeler's, Mr. Rooney was still coming to the farm) The farm manager called to tell me that the horse dentist was coming and not to be alarmed if I saw someone in the barn. Not long after we got settled, a man comes out of the barn and says "Hi, I'm Terry Bradshaw", I said "hello". after a brief no talking he went back into the barn. At dinner Donnie asked Suzanne if she had ridden her bike she said "yes, but we had to leave because the horse dentist kept trying to talk to Mom". I said "yes, he came out several times, he had introduced himself as Terry Bradshaw" "Oh Cathy, that is Mr. Rooney's new Quarter Back". I went back the next day but they had gone. I really did want to say "sorry". Now when he is on TV everyone says "there's the horse dentist"!
