      Although he was named Jasper in memory of his grandfather, he never liked the name and went by his middle name, Martin, or by J. Martin. To the end of his life, however, he tried to honor Jasper and the man who had saved Jasper’s life. This is Martin’s story, and the tale of a cautious, yet brave, woman for stood by his side for fifty-five years.

      By faith and by love may you go. From a note Mabel slipped into Martin’s suitcase as he was leaving to observe the March on Selma, Alabama early in 1965.
