Davis L. Temple, Jr.

In 2004, Carole attended a library conference at which Davis Temple, Jr., won the Mississippi Author Award for his novel, Two Letters Then Booger Den. His second novel, published in 2005, is entitled Preacherman.

Davis is a scientist who lives in Connecticut and Florida. We have exchanged e-mails for the past few years. I believe that Davis and his parents lived near Aunt Johnnie at one time when Davis was small.

Davis's mother was Ernestine Rogers, the daughter of Robert Holland Rogers who was the brother of Achilles Moorman Rogers, Miss Willie's husband.

After Ernestine's death, Davis Temple, Sr., married Lefty Sample's sister.
