This is for you, Kathy

Kathy and I were talking about reunion activities last night, and Kent, who does not come to the reunion, suggested activities involving paint guns and running through the woods. While Kathy did not want her children probably even aware of such activites, she did mention something about 'in her day.' I probably told this two years ago, but here it is again.

One hot summer day, Gary, Becky and I were sitting on the lake bank at the Fireman's Club at Beulah. Daddy/Uncle Charles came down the bank and asked what we were doing. "Watching the kids in the water," we said. "When y'all were that age, we just let you go on your own," he said. "We remember," we said, "that's why we're down here watching the kids."
