Floyd has several nicknames through the years. "Flossie" and "Meat Grease" the latter for his slicked down hair. He had one teacher that pronounced his name as Fluid. He went to high school through the age of 21. He would go to school during football season and as soon as the season was over, He would go to work for the saw mill. Floyd was not real fond of Math so he took "History of Mankind" for 4 or 5 years. Floyd worked for the Railway Express Agency for many years. He had to move to different locations all the time. On different routes for the REA his family lived in New Orleans twice, Leesville, Homer, Shreveport: all in Louisiana. He also lived in Port Arthur and Corsicana in Texas.
