Book excerpt: At age 95, James Carlton Carter, Jr. recalls the story of his youth in rural north Florida, one of five siblings raised by their mother, Zella Carter, with the help of family. After leaving high school to serve in World War II, Carlton used the GI Bill to further his education. Inspired by church music, Carlton committed to a life of service in music ministry and church music education. Carlton tells of meeting Doris Pierce in seminary, then how they married and made their life together as he served in various churches. The couple settled in Nashville, Tennessee, where Carlton worked for the Southern Baptist Church Training Department. James and Doris, together with their young son Jamie, became active members of the Woodmont Baptist Church. A life of devotion, family, music, and travel is remembered in Part 1, The Way I Saw It. Members of Carlton's family, the Carters, Bohannons and Halls of Hancock County, Florida, are described in Part 2, with their genealogy and photographs.
