Youngsters nowadays don't have any idea what it was like in our early days, do they. Just flip a switch. I remember being so proud when we, in our oilfield home, got electricity way before our farmer friends and family did. Sister Carol

I love the memories... I remember reading in your bio that you were bitten by a rattlesnake. Do you remember much about it? Have you written about it and I missed it? When I six or seven, I stepped on the back of a copperhead as I ran through the yard. He missed me, but I always wondered what it would have been like if he hadn't. Scott
