Billy and HUey Morford I got to grow up together, I lived across the street Midway, in the 4o's. One great story Mr Morford took us camping when were about 7 or 8 and we were in a tent, Billy and I were in the tent and neither one wanted to get up (i peeded
the bed and didn't want anyone to find
out, both stayed in bed and Huey came in and asked Billy (i was pretending to
be asleep) why he didnt get up BILLY said he peeded the bed and didnt want me to find out, really happend,,,,,,
I only saw him once in the 50 or 60 yrs after that.........The Morfords were wellliked in Pontiac......those were the days.....Gary Crawley
