The people in this story are typical everyday country folks, but some did quite extraordinary things, good and bad. I nearly wept with joy remembering, when I saw a car the same year and model in a ‘ZZ Top’ music video 50 years later. Her oldest boy Lawrence was 13 and capable of looking after the other three. –
When my best pal Jacob got his discharge and came home from West Germany in ’46, he had nasty-looking scars on his left hand and was missing a fingertip. I did need to add 3 to the ages of “Nora” and “Janelle”, due to current legal restrictions and the rules on certain websites. He had proposed after knowing her only a few hours! I’m recording this so he and his descendants can know the real history of our family. Eventually she was down to once weekly ‘top popping’ and even less ‘whoopie’, so I went small game hunting frequently as an excuse and fixed my problem alone in the woods.
