When you were growing up you had lots of fun. You were out of one thing and into another. There is no way to write the adventures you had. But a few stand out like the time you caught the pig. Here you came with a dozen or more kids following you. The pig squealing to the top of its lungs and all the kids yelling you were smiling from ear to ear. I’ll never forget your face you were so excited and proud of yourself. You only had one shoe on. You said I run so fast I ran right out of my shoe. You kept the pig until you found the owner. The time you climbed a tree at the lake and fell and you was hanging there upside down by your foot until we got you down. The time when you were real young, maybe 3 and pooped your pants and said Ross did it. You loved playing pranks on your sister and then laugh and make others laugh. Goodness the things you did, putting a frog on your sister’s friend while they were sunbathing. You loved to play marbles and cars with your brother and friends. You enjoyed playing with all your cousins at grandma’s store. You guys made forts out of coke crates and tents out of cardboard and look for crawdads in the creek. You boys chased the girls with all kinds of critters and the girls ran and screamed but love to tell on you guys. You hung your sister’s doll by its neck. You and your friends had lots of fun and got into lots of innocent trouble. You were always a hard worker, your first job was a car wash. Than you grew up started working at Coe Manufacturing. Your brother moved to Texas and in a month or so you moved to Texas than he moved back to Ohio and you moved back. Then he moved to Tenn. In a month or 2 you were off to Tenn. That’s were you bought a farm and stayed. You went to work for Mahle and loved your job. Another great joy for you was the birth of your daughter. I remember you saying she is so small and so pretty. She was the apple of your eye. So many memories wish we had those times back. You were proud of your accomplishments and so are we.
