Beverly Jean McClurkan, Jarvis David's only child, I nicknamed her "E. F. Hutton" because whenever she opened her mouth to speak everyone listened. I based this on a 1970s & 1980s commercial of the E. F. Hutton investment firm. "When E. F. Hutton talks, people listen" (which usually involved a young professional remarking at a dinner party that his broker was E.F. Hutton, which caused the moderately loud party to stop all conversation to listen to him). Everytime this young lady opened her mouth, J. D. and all around would stop and become awestruck with whatever she was about to utter. She had been everywhere once and had done everything twice, to hear her talk. She, too, was another one who, if you were in her presence, feel free to discard all your books of knowledge and encyclopedias, she knew everything. Photo: Circa 1965
