  6. Buddy and my dad (Floyd Sharp) are cousins as their moms are sisters. I never had the opportunity to get to know many of my relatives in and amongst the Spiveys. But they all see so nice. I do recall dad and his mom talking about Novel and her kids and how much they both thought of them. Buddy: catch up with them now and enjoy yourself!!!!!
