Lost Tapes - A 1994 interview by Linsey Lane
At the age of 89, Emmett Shelton Sr. reflects on the strength of family love through the generations of his family and in his law practice.
He tells some of his favorite stories, including Hattie, Rob Roy and land development -- always with just a few new details. And a special guest appearance by Joyce.
Emmett has an interesting perspective in answering a question about the anxiety the younger generation has about the future. He advices the younger generation to be honest, be the best you can, don't spend it if you don't have it - keep your head up -- there is always another day. He talks about the impact media has had over his lifetime and he talks about race relations in his family since the time of Thomas Jefferson.
He ends up with a question of how he spends his days: finishing up a New Civil War Novel, New Austin History Book, Tapes and Joyce always has something planned every day.
Emmett sums it all up by saying:
In the End, Really Time Doesn't Mean a Thing
It's What You Do with It !
Music: Daddy's Dreams by Polk Shelton (Emmett's son)
