  Notes	The following was written by John David Grinstead (1929-2019) in a letter to the author/site administrator in 1999. CHARMIE LEE GRINSTEAD was born 4/6/1906 in Riverside, Virginia. She married James " Carl " Neitch 3/27/1924 in Bristol, Virginia-Tennessee. They had four children: Mary Anne Katherine who died at the age of 48 in 1974, Helen Lee " Honey ", James Harold who died in 1998 and David Carl. I stayed with Charmie for a while also. She was a very nice person and one of the best cooks in the family. Charmie liked jokes and funny stories and liked to play jokes on others. When I took Dad to Marion in October of 1962, Charmie had most of the family over for dinner and she arranged to have just enough room on the table for the plates and serving dishes. She then brought one more in from the kitchen and started it going around the table so that I would be the last one to get it. When I got my helping from it and started to put it down I found no place to put it and no one else would take it. I held it for a couple minutes unaware that I was being teased then sat it on the floor. Everyone started laughing then. I guess they were all in on the joke. Honey was another of my close friends while I was living in the Marion area. We used to swim in the river where Dad swam as a boy. Charmie died 6/10/1983 and was buried in Marion.
