Candy Turner What do you remember of him? I remember he was a gentle giant.He lived at our house.He had geraniums on the window sill in the kitchen and a cage with birds in the corner,hanging from the ceiling.He played the banjo,juice harp,mandolin and guitar.We were told he was full blooded Seneca but we have no way no to check on that.He did look like an indian.high cheekbones and all.
