Shared Stories: Butterscotch sundaes

Many people remember the excitement of a visit from a favorite relative when they were little. Sharon Smith’s “Uncle Jimmy” was a dynamic and generous figure in their family. (FYI – the “hawsepipe” mentioned in her story is the pipe that the anchor chain passes through near the bow of a ship.) Shared Stories is a weekly column featuring articles by participants in a writing class at the Norwalk Senior Center. Bonnie Mansell is the instructor for this free class offered through the Cerritos College Adult Education Program. Curated by Carol Kearns

[email protected] Uncle Jimmy started going to sea as an ordinary seaman at the very young age of fifteen. His home was in Houston where he became known as “Blackie Merrell,” and he was assigned to the S.S. Liberty Bell. He later played a major role in the formation and the building of the National Maritime Union. In 1939, Uncle Jimmy was elected Chairman of the Gulf District. It is written in “The Hawsepipe” (the newsletter of the Marine Workers Historical Association) that under his leadership the union in the Gulf was cleaned up and the goon squads ceased their activities. Even more years down the road, he went on to be elected as one of the Trustees of the Pension & Welfare Fund and served in that non-paying capacity after he retired from the sea. To this day, when I hear the words “Marine” or “butterscotch,” I am reminded of our favorite Marine, our beloved “Uncle Jimmy,” and the result of the night of two butterscotch sundaes. 14 | The Downey Patriot Real Estate Thursday, Jan. 4, 2018
