Hi there!
We were and are the first 'LITTLE RASCALS', long before the TV show of that name. Good thing Father was gentle and tolerant and allowed us to explore. It made us the people we are and laughter has saved some of us from falling victim to life's challenges.

I have hundreds of stories about my brother, he was the REAL RASCAL!!

Glad you enjoyed it, I haven't heard from Beryl yet. She's probably on her way to smuck me one!!!!!!!!!!!!

As Dad would say 'NOW MY DEAR LAMBS, QUIET DOWN, MOTHER IS GETTING UPSET!', making him the master of understatement! She would say 'Dick, speak to those children!"

Dad would look around in amazement that anything was happening and say "Hello Children!"--

Mother would go completely nuts when he would do that and we would roll around laughing!We weathered many storms with laughter! May it always be so!
Bonnie.

What better way to spend Friday night than reading this story? You filled my evening with laughter. May poor Pete rest in peace. BJ

As an only kid, I have integrated myself into your wonderful, crazy family and am in constant wonderment just what's in store next week, or next month. Always something. Thank God one or two of you can set it on paper for posterity.......Kathe
