The following story is written by Cheryl SCHWITTERS Whitaker: "One of the family outings we did as children was dad taking us to Thomson, back water of Mississippi. We would hunt night crawlers the night before. Armed with our cans of worms we were off. No money for fishing poles, but we each had a bottle with a fishing line and hook attached. Once baited we threw the bottle as far out as the twine attached would allow. If the bottle went down or moving away, we would pull hard and retrieve our fish. We caught so many bull-heads that we stopped at Aunt Evelyn and Uncle Alfred's farm to clean because it was getting dark and Uncle Alfred had a big, bright outside light. The fish went onto the hay rack and cleaning began."
"In the late 1950's there was a huge snow strom. Dad piled all the snow into a big puffy mound then watered it down. Ashes from the furnace (probably coal) was put up one side so we could climb to the top. Best sledding ever. Then to get to school, dad drove the tractor to each farm and us kids hung onto the fenders and tongue all the way to school."
