Sandy Paton What was Lee Hays really like...? (1914-1981) (109* d) RE: What was Lee Hays really like...? 18 Aug 99


The photo of your mother with Lee Hayes may well be from the Commonwealth Labor School (or college) in Mena, Arkansas. Lee Hayes was active there at one time, pre-Weavers. My father was raised in Mena, but knew nothing about the school (alas!). That was where Haayes found old Emma Dusenberry and collected some of her songs, such as "The Dodger Song" ("We're all dodgin' out a way through the world!"). Sounds as though your mother was a good "rebel girl." Be proud. Sandy
