My fondest memories with "Noonie" was sitting down with my Highlights magazine and letting him help me find the hidden objects in the pictures. As a child, I fell asleep many a Sat. night on his living room floor while my parents were visiting. I will never forget when I was a child and visited with him and Joyce at the original rivah house. They had no inside toilet, so upon my return from the outhouse for the first time ever, he asked if I remembered to flush. Being just a kid, I didn't know what to say. I thought I had done something wrong.
