Whistling Jameson
1935 – 2007
Whistling loved the ice cream truck song. It reminded her of Daddy when he was the ice cream man for the town of Rollick. Whistling’s family lived about seven miles away in the neighboring town - Frisk. Daddy’d have to pass Memory Mounds Cemetery everyday on his way to Rollick and again heading back home.
World War II took Daddy away. Whistling didn’t get to know him well, but he had to go fight them Nazis “…so’s you, and Mom, and everyone we love can keep living our lives,” Mom always told Whistling, but what Whistling’s experiences with her father (that she can recall) were wonderful; even in her adulthood they inspired dreams. And Mother always assured Whistling that Daddy was a wonderful man.
