I will never forget meeting mrs goldie. I was very nervous the whole way from south carolina, to ohio, but gary kept telling me what a crazy wounderful family he had, and how they would all like me. mrs goldie gave up her bed to us, and in the morning very earley she went to marthas house to be with marney. ABOUT seven she called gary and said for us to get up and to make sure i made up that bed.I knew right then this lady was going to be one of my favorite people,

Fishing with carl wiliams

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.
