carl wiliams and i decided we were going to sneak into the water treatment plant. we had been fishing in the mad river, but decided we wanted to fish in the concrete ponds. we had to crawl under a fence every time we caught a fish to take it off the line, becacse the security guard would see us if we stood up. we crawled back and forth until we caught about twenty. that night dad said he tried to sneak in there and they threw him out, we sure enjoyed them fish.

Becoming a woman at 9yrs old! Not literally, just physically!
Back in the old days…I tried to talk w/Diane Beverly about my horrid disease…(she was 2 yrs older), but it just didn’t register, I needed more information.
When I was just 9 yrs old I thought I had an incurable disease and was dying. I recall telling Mom and then Shirley came to the “rescue”. (Myrtle was attending nursing school at Bethesda, so Shirley was on duty.) I was absolutley mortified when she showed me a diaper strung up by a rubberband! I was supposed to be cured by this contraption?! Needless to say I finally got the picture and survived.
