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!!!

Grandma and Grandpa – Amon and Nora Cantrell
Wonder what year. How old were they. They didn’t have grey hair and I doubt they dyed their hair.
It is funny, but this is the way I always remember them.
I am pretty sure this was Grandma, Grandpa and Roger on a visit to Ohio when I was home from the Army. Don’t know which house. Hope Vickie or Martha can remember where we lived when you were this age.
Here is another picture of Grandma and Grandpa standing at the back of their house. I know the well is back there too. They don’t look much different – just a little older. I do hope I can go back through some of my original pictures and match up some dates.
I know we can find the date for this and I think I have a picture of Grandpa helping Vickie and Anita at the well.
Carl visiting Grandma and Grandpa. Not sure when this was either. Obviously, a little older.
