Tell A Story About Your Self

[GOPAPA]

At about 17 years old In 1962 I sold my 52 Chevy 4 door for $50 and took off to Arkansas near a little town called Scotland with my brother-in-laws brother Sherman . My two sis's married a couple guys from Arkansas and so I left Oregon to visit and stay with one of them. and get a job.
All the way on the trip back there was this new popular song playing on the Radio ,,,,,,,,, "Wolverton Mountain" and I really liked it so Sherman took me to this mountain
mentioned in the song close to Center Ridge Arkansas and sure enough on the mailbox the name was Clifton Clowers who is the father in the song . That day at 17 years old I felt like I had met a celebrity even if it was just a name on a mail box

Name of Song is Wolverton Mountain
They say don't go on Wolverton Mountain
If you're looking for a wife
'Cause Clifton Clowers has a pretty young daughter
He's mighty handy with a gun and a knife

So ,, lets hear from you'ins a story ,I like short stories

Once on a family picnic I farted really loudly and my little boy laughed so hard a piece of pork pie flew out of his mouth and
hit a duck.






Obviously a joke

I was on a 6 am Flight out of Oakland Ca the Morning of 911 heading for Wyoming. The
Captain came on and told us what was going on and that we were putting down in Las Vegas. As I walked into the Terminal there was a Giant TV Screen showing the second plane hitting. People were scared some crying, it was Crazy. I was lucky to secure a car.
As I went to get my luggage I said loudly “ I have a car and I’m going to Oakland, I have room for three” Two ladies and a gentleman grabbed me and asked to go. So 4 strangers drove from Vegas back to Oakland that day. I left home that day at 4 am and got back home at 4am next day. A Day I Will NEVER FORGET

I was in Vegas at a trade show on 911. I watched the second plane hit. All flights cancelled. I was put in charge of finding rental cars. We needed three. I booked three caddies at the Vegas airport. Went to pick them but we couldn't get inside the airport perimiter.
Hired a limo to take us to AZ to pick up cars. 29 hours later we were home in MN.
Two weeks later I was on a flight and prior to the take off and during the flight you could of heard a pin drop.

This was kind of funny from when I was a kid. I was heavy in to Boy Scouts and was learning about wild life, I loved it. Our house and our neighbors house were a good distance apart. One day I was listening to the adults talk and the neighbor was telling dad he was having trouble with raccoons. Oh man that was really exciting to me, I had read the book Rascal about a boy adopting a raccoon, I really wanted one. One night I decided I wanted to see the raccoons. I adjusted my bed to sort of look like I was still in there, hopped out the window leaving it open so I could climb back in. I was out there a good while and of course as much as I searched I saw no raccoons. I went back to the house and went to climb in the window but it was closed and locked tight. I thought my dad had locked me out of the house to teach me a lesson or something. It hit me emotionally not in a mad way but a sad way. Why would he do this? After a while of sitting on the porch I finally got up the courage to knock on the front door. Dad came to the door in his underwear, before he could say anything I asked how come he locked me out of the house? I was trying to hold back the tears. He really was in shock, what are you doing outside? I told him what I had been up to. He said, I didnt even notice you weren't in the bed, I closed your window because it was getting chilly in your room. I didnt get in trouble we just went to bed and the next morning he said next time you want to do something like that just ask and we will do it together.
