LORENE DAVENPORT


Lorene Davenport is a gracious woman who loves Clyde deeply and loves his music and encourages him in it. She is always on the go, cleaning their house or cooking or working at the Belden Wire and Cable Co. She works on an assembly line and, in her 60s now, this is very hard work for her, and it is especially hard on her feet and ankles, which have given her pain for which she has had an operation. She wishes Clyde would go to church but doesn't nag him about it. She is lively, shy of the camera, and (unlike Clyde) a church-goer. I was able to take a PHOTO OF LORENE DAVENPORT after we became friends. I liked Lorraine a great deal and felt she took a genuine interest in me and my attempts to learn from Clyde and help him get jobs fiddling.
