Ronnie Hospitalized

Ronnie was hospitalized over the weekend with pneumonia. He was suppose to be released. Mom told me they put Aunt Ean in the hospital but had no details.

The Boss on Main Street ???

Robert "Bob" Wilson wrote something interesting about Grandad so I thought I would put it up here for everyone to read. The comment was made after he saw a picture of Grandad, Ean, Melba and Winna at the family reunion. "Joe. Jr. does not look like the type of a guy that would put his Model A. Ford truck in "Grandma Gear" and drive down Main Street in Childress on a Saturday night, at a top speed of about 1/4 MPH while playing with the "SPARK LEVER" making the truck backfire numerous times. Someone said this reaction was to show the policeman (probably PAPA BURKES) who had stopped him for speeding, just who was the BOSS and who was in the "drivers seat" on Main Street that Saturday night. This picture shows him being much to tame for such an action."
