Once David and Frances, along with their small son Glenn and Frances' brother and sister, were driving to NC.The mountain roads were washed out in places and night found them way back in the hills.David went to a nearby mountain home and charmed the family, who took all five of them in for the night.Although quite poor, the family put them on pallets on the floor and gave them a delicious supper and breakfast.David sang, told stories, and thoroughly entertained them.They loved it and considered it a highlight in their lives, refused pay, and begged them to stay longer.Frances summarized her account of the event by saying, "Such was David's charm."
