FAMILY HISTORY NUGGET

When I was 7 or 8 my Uncle Juddie gave me an air rifle. I was very proud of it. I took it across the street to a vacant lot where the neighborhood kids played. The "big boys" there liked my air rifle too, so they beat me up and took it away. I ran home crying to my mother. She immediately marched across the street, confronted the big boys, took the air rifle and brought it back to me. I was proud of the air rifle; I was even prouder to have a mom who could and would do that!

Love, Loren
