1997 Award


This picture means a lot to Barbara and me.
Of all the people who came to our St. Armands award, these four knew me the longest and came a long way to stand in the wind and rain that day.

If that man second from the left is DR, he sure loks like Obert Miller.

I just noticed I put my name in wrong. Mr Hall is the only one I did not know. Must wait until I have that first cup of coffee before writing. DR was one of a kind. The only bad thing I can think of is those cigars. He was a lot of fun and could fit in anywhere and make you smile.

One of the very few things I regret in life and wish I had not done was related to DR. As a house warming gift DR gave me a beautiful hand made colorful ash tray. I think it was for a joke about the cigars I had made to him. I threw it at Gene Garner in a temper fit and broke it a few months later. God I wish I had not done that. Both destroying the ash tray and missing Gene when I did it.

My wife threw a claw hammer at me once.

I threw a gun at JC and did not miss. He never batted an eye and just kept me practicing with out the gun. I was going to learn how to control animals even when I could not control my temper. He thought it was funny. And I did learn. He learned to duck.

One good thing about this site is that there are no "family secrets" here.

Half the fun of being a MATURE adult, is getting to act like a child again. You can't get sent to your room for spilling family secrets. Most things are funnier now then when they actualy happened. Giovanni mentioned honey buckets in a message this morning. I also have a collection of them. Some things were not better in the old days.
