Back in my day...


As everyone knows I was pretty young when Grandee and Grandmother left Laurelledge. However, I do have one memory of a fourth of July fireworks display gone awry. I distinctly remember watching in terror as fireworks headed off of their prescribed course and directly at my tent! I of course immediately sought shelter in the relative safety of the minivan. But even to this day I cant think of fireworks without remember this harrowing experience.

I remember that, Eddie. I think I may have (somehow) even been involved in the incident - along with Larry (Barwick).

I said Larry was involved, too!
And maybe your Dad as well...
