Anyone who ever delivered papers in Medford OK would know the Scouten family... attractive and gracious Mother, Father, the blacksmith of choice in town, older brother Marvin who came home from WW II minus an arm & Merle -also US Navy-the youngest, & easy-going great friend. May he rest in peace!

Will never forget all the fun and joy you brought. Who else could teach you that a Horse Fly could be a bottle rocket.
Will miss you Polecat.
