I am the eldest son of five children, born to the same mother; Brownetta Taylor-Bailey and father, James Edward Bailey; their first born being a daughter, my eldest sister; Gwendolyn, and three other younger siblings: one sister, Shirley and two brothers; John and Sam.
Family life and farming life were extremely challenging, laced with violent familial eruptions, arduous labor, and chores that I, by the necessity of obedience to commands, summoned the strength of will to accomplish, many times, to my own physical hurt. Those chores required manly strengths that exceeded my physical limitations as a frail and malnourished child, but life required the hands of all persons present, able or not.
Of my father’s second marriage, I have a younger sister, Saphira Bailey, and of my mother’s second marriage, I have a younger sister, Fannie, and younger brother, William, whose last names are, Cole.
Of my father’s third marriage, I have two brothers, Tyrone, and Jerome Bailey. Four families make up the full collection of my siblings, and none of them are considered half brother or sister.
I have 35 years of marriage to Kate-Boyd Bailey whom I met while on vacation in Tennessee in 1967. We were engaged for two years and then married on June 1, 1970. Our two daughters are, Angela Bailey-Gaddie and Kyla Bailey. We have two grandchildren, Bobby (BJ) and Karrington (Tootie) Gaddie. We have one son-in-law, Bobby Gaddie.
Our disabled veteran father’s health failed in 1961, leaving him unable to take care of the initial five of us that had come to live with him after out mother’s death. Our paternal grandfather, Herman Bailey, came from Kalamazoo and collected us to his own home where we resided with he and his wife, and our grandmother Mary (Peggy) Bailey for a time, and then out on our own again.
My education includes, Kalamazoo Central High graduation, Kellogg Community College, Kalamazoo Valley Community College, Kalamazoo College, L. Lee Stryker Institute, and the Los Angeles based Ministerial Training Institute-MTI, from which I received my bachelors, masters and doctorate degrees. I am currently retired from secular employment and re-enrolled in MTI, at a youthful age of 57 years, to continue my education studies.
