Some Stuff I Wrote (2001) H. Morris Williams

Johnson wrote lyrics and music, respectively. The last stanza went like this:

“Lest our feet stray from the places,

Our God, where we met Thee;
Lest our hearts
Drunk with the world’s wine,

We forget Thee;
Shadowed beneath Thy hand,

True to our God,
True to our native land.”

More than a banker.. .When Porter Claude Crapps, Jr. died May 22, 1993, he was known
to some mainly as a banker. However, he was also a chemical engineer (UF graduate), employed

for quite some time in his earlier days by the DuPont Chemical Company. A great humanitarian and

supported.

Betty Castor, a letter bragging on Five Points Elementary School. In it, he said, “They really care

about making kids feel important...” Commissioner Castor was so impressed with Terry’s letter,
she wrote principal, Sam Markham, “Thanks to Five Points for providing an environment where

every kid is a winner every day. Well deserved kudos to all concerned.”
Personal thanks .. .To Karen Sanderson and the Modem Woodmen of the World for the

lovely “community” plaque and the delicious take-home chocolate pie, and to the magnificent
Altrusans for their spectacular “gala” that was a benefit to our School Foundation, CARC, and

Happy House.
