Clifford Worsham just visited me in my office this morning.  Clifford
     had previously told me his father, Mr. B.F. Worsham,  was a close
     personal friend of Roscoe's (and was also a close personal friend of
     my father).  I reminded Clifford that I wanted to record his
     recollections of stories he had heard.  He proceeded to tell me a
     personal story of his own.  Clifford had gone to Albuquerque, New
     Mexico on a college scholarship to play football. In 1935 or 1936 his
     father had a critical operation in Memphis and Doctors thought he
     would not live through the operation. Friends called Roscoe in Los
     Angeles  and Roscoe then called Clifford in Albuquerque and told him
     he would pick him up at 4:00 am in the morning at the airport and
     would fly him to Memphis.  Doctors later that night called back and
     said his father made it through the operation and would recover.
     Clifford said Roscoe had been going to pick him up in one of his
     racing planes and Clifford didn't know whether he really wanted to do
     that or not.  He was aware of the risks involved in flying in those
     days.  Clifford has a picture of his father and Roscoe on their front
     porch which he is going to get for me to have copied.  Clifford had
     told me Roscoe always visited his father when he came to town for
     legal advice.  Mr. B.F.Worsham was a respected lawyer in Corinth and
     was mayor of Corinth from 1942-1946. Roscoe was always in some
     financial or legal difficulties according to what his father always
     relayed to Clifford.

     Clifford recalled that after World War II, Roscoe would fly into
     Corinth and come to visit Mr. B.F.Worsham at his offices over Wilson
     Drug on Fillmore St. (now Kitchens Drug Store).   Worsham Bros.
     Construction Co. then occupied the back offices of Mr. B.F.Worsham's
     law office above the drug store.  When Roscoe would leave Mr.
     Worsham's office, he would tell them he would wave at them when he
     left town.  Everyone knew what that meant and would head for the back
     window of the office facing West.  Roscoe would always take off when
     leaving town and fly over the Turner residence on Turner Hill and then
     turn due East and fly directly toward the drug store 2nd story office
     which is at the top of a hill and sticks out above the surrounding
     store buildings down the hill from it.  When he got within 500 or 600
     feet, he would wag his wings up and down and then zoom up and be gone.

     The final story Clifford relayed was one which I had heard before but
     never had any confirmation from another source.  Many people around
     Corinth have heard the story that Roscoe "borrowed" the first plane he
     ever owned from the Army.  According to Clifford, he had heard Roscoe
     arrived back in the states from World War I in New Jersey.  Being in a
     hurry to get home, Roscoe just "borrowed" one of the Jennys and came
     right on home.  Clifford thinks this might have been the first time
     his father ever helped Roscoe get out of legal complications.
     Clifford recalls his father once had to make a trip to Atlanta on
     account of some of Roscoe's dealings but knew none of the details.
