Carlton and Doris, together with their 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 north Florida, are described in Part 2, with their genealogy and photographs.
