Perhaps the best characterization of the narrator is in the story "The Strike." There he makes clear that he, unlike Captain Kelley, knows what the objective of the next great offensive is, and the narrator brags of his association with various Admirals. Though he is on the scene at the plantation of the Frenchman's daughter, for example in the story about "Those Who Fraternize," he is not described as having an affair of his own with one of the women there. Though the narrator is almost always present, he is not developed as a character very much. Thus, the narrator gets to meet the other major characters of the stories and tell the stories about them. He is an officer on Admiral Kester's staff who typically travels around and keeps in touch with various units. The narrator holds the story line together with his frequent changes in location and his presence in meetings with Admiral Kester on planning the battle of Kuralei and on winning the war.

He was preceded in death by his Father Charlie Cable, Mother Bessie (Estep) Cable, his children Phillip Cable, and Onna Jones, his Granddaughter Selena Cable, and siblings Elizabeth, Bertha, Dixie, Hoover, Cory, Jessie, Charlie, and John. Joe is survived by his loving wife, Betty Cable, daughter-in-law Pat Cable, son-in-law Richard Jones, Grandchildren- Brian Cable, Sarah (Jonathan) Moore, and Stuart (Miranda) Jones, and two great grandchildren, Jayden and Katherine, unofficially adopted son Richard Penny, as well as one brother Dave, and four sisters Jettie Lee, Lexie, Goldie, and Jane and many loving nieces and nephews. He was known for the size of his garden, the variety of fruits & vegetables he grew, but most of all for his generosity with his gardening knowledge, plants, and produce. He also had a passion for gardening and just couldn’t start his tomato seeds early enough. Joe was a friend to everyone and was willing to help anyone he could. After his retirement, he volunteered at his grandchildren’s elementary schools doing science demonstrations and was affectionately called Granddaddy by many of the students there. He was honored with the Science Teacher of the Year award and was inducted into the Henry Clay Teachers’ Hall of Fame in 2004. Not only did he teach high school, but he also taught in prisons, the veteran’s hospital, and many through the GED program. He taught high school chemistry for 34 years, spending the majority of his career at Henry Clay High School. Joe received his bachelor's from Berea College and his Master’s from Marshall University. “Smilin’ Joe” (as some of his friends knew him) had a warm, loving, and humorous spirit, but above all a strong faith in the Lord evidenced by his marriage of 68 years, readiness to share the gospel with anyone, the raising of his children, and teaching. Joe Cable, loving husband of Betty Cable and father of two children, passed away on Wednesday, September 28, 2022, at the age of 91. Funeral Time: Tuesday, October 4th at 12:00PM
