Emmett Sr. tells of growing Up in South Austins 100 years ago. His first story is of his difficult home birth without a doctor. As the 5th of six boys, that was not his mother's first challenge! No cars, no lights, no inside plumbing - life was very different in South Austin. Emmett tells of seeing the first airplane, the first street car and the Deaf School. Crisis shook the family when brother Earl was shot gathering pecans. South Austin was a different place 100 years ago but the boys were much the same!
