It was July of 1971 or 1972, Great Uncle Anon came and stayed with us for 2 weeks. Grandpa and Grandma Cox came down to visit us in Washington Court House, Ohio. The Fayette County fair was going on. Uncle Tom Pat and Aunt Sharon Maynard met us all there. Aunt Sharon dared Grandpa Cox to ride on the super loop. Well, he was not going to let her call him a chicken. So they got on the ride, they were hollaring and screaming. My dad (Carl), mom(Joyce), Tom Pat, Grandma, Uncle Anon and all of us kids were at the bottom laughing. When the ride went upside down, Grandpa Cox’s dentures, cigarettes, lighter, and wallet all fell on the ground. When they got off the ride, the guy had to keep everybody off the ride until Grandpa Cox could collect all his things. The only thing he had a problem finding was his teeth. They fell into somebody’s lemon shake that was standing there wondering what all the hupla was about. Because we had such a crowd of people watching those 2 on that ride. When Grandpa and Aunt Sharon got off the ride, She was puking and he was dizzy. But it was such a hoot!! Everybody had such a good time!!!

Oh Carla Jo! That is too funny – dentures into a shake! That must have been a real Kodak moment!
