Memory: As I let my mind stroll down memory lane, I have such fond memories of my childhood and those memories included spending time with Uncle George and family. He and my Dad were like brothers and Pat and my Mom were like sisters. Our families definitely spent a lot of time together growing up. Uncle George was known for his love of toystoys for Big boys, and we as kids got to enjoy them too! From motorcycle and dune buggy rides, to waterskiing on his boat at Barren River. He was also great at fixing cars and many a trip was made to Powers Transmission in Okolona from childhood fixing my parent's cars to fixing my own car as I got older. Those were such good times and memories to hold on too.
