When boys were boys Nothing thrilled me more than finding an old roll of film while digging in one of Mom’s and Dad’s closets. I took my chances in getting it developed, hoping for a surprise of some old memories to be brought to life. Oh, what a wonderful surprise to receive pictures of the first year my Mom and Dad were wed. But one of my favorites was the one from 1956 with two of my uncles holding shot guns, surrounded by their cousins. Talking with Mom and Dad, I learned a little history behind the picture. I listened to the delight they had in their stories and in their hearts as they explained how the boys would often get together to hunt, play horseshoes, baseball, and go fishing. The one to the left is my Uncle Wayne holding a single-barrel shotgun, and the one in the middle is my Uncle Marvin with the double-barrel. Sharon Whitehurst |
