Thinking of Brian today on what would have been his 74th birthday. He started out very physically fit but he was hit by car when he was young and then he was in a bad car wreck in his twenties. We had a pool in our backyard. Just a small above ground pool. Brian would do things like jump off the garage into the pool. He certainly was not a typical brother. He liked to dress up like Dracula. He loved to make monster movies. He made up his friend Larry Beard to look like Wolfman. After being MP in Army Brian came home driving a black hearse. We tried to encourage him to keep it in the carport. Never a dull moment with him. Once he invited some kids from Frederick to our little home in the country in Mount Pleasant. They decided to skin ny dip. Our devout Christian mother got out her big ham knife. She hollered to get out.
