  2. As kids we were not allowed to give our phone number out, or when he was home no kids at our house, One year we found a awesome tree leaning over the road and we all made a tree swing out of it. Was the best swing. Just kids havin fun, well the stepdad didnt like all the kids on the empty lot next store, so he cut down the tree!!!
    or was it, he didnt like to see us have a good time, will never figure it out.

  3. My mother never told me this, sisters and aunt did, but I guess my mom was 17 when I was born. she was so thin and good at hiding her pregnancy that she didnt tell anyone about me the last couple weeks of her pregnancy.. Can you imagine. wow you know in 1952 how they thought of unwed mothers, so my grandpa went to my dad and convinced him to do the right thing, he was 18. My father was a very messed up kid, pretty much abandoned my his 15 yr old mother, and was raised by his father,and stepmom so he soon had 7 half brothers and sisters, From what I have learned he was a very angry, problem child, and took that into his teen years, where he then started robbing and getting himself into trouble. After Marrying my mother she continued to get pregnant every year for the next 4 yrs.5 kids, seems so ignorant that they wed so young, too much for my young dad.. When my mom was pregnant with her 5th child my Dad finally got caught in his biggest criminal activity and was sent to prison in Vermont. That is all I know, no one ever really told me what happened. All of a sudden daddy was gone for good.
