This event happened maybe 40 years ago. I'm sure I wasn't even 10 at the time. Kohler family gathering at the farm in St.James A bunch of us were riding in a wagon-cart being pulled by a tractor on a bumpy trail through the woods. I think Uncle Lou was driving. Somehow the wagon became unhitched. We were on an incline so if someone didn't act fast, we were in trouble. Before I could even get scared, Uncle Barney was behind the wagon,digging his heels in and bringing us to a safe stop. Heaven recently became an even richer place. Rest in peace Uncle Barney.
