A very touching story.It seems most ...Dear Martha, <br />A very touching story.It seems most us can recall such a <br />Person in our younger lives Mine was a man named Sam,<br />Could have been your rag picker man. Sam roamed the<br />Streets of our small town, picking up odd bits and pieces.<br />My Dad pointed out his place to me once when we were<br />Driving somewhere. See that mountain over there, that's<br />Sam's place he said.It was a mountain of those bits and pieces. I guess, if you needed a spare part or wanted to<br />Replace an odd bit, Sam was your man. My DAd used to take him to the local dairy and buy him a banana split his favorite. I recall that Sam had cats and always <br />Smelled like grease and a kind of campfire smell.<br />I was too young to take it upon myself to befriend him,<br />But I was very curious, I'm happy to say that my father<br />Never uttered an unkind word about him but plenty of other people did.<br /><br />smelled like grease and burning wood.Barbara tarboxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5341967932815075836.post-30462748748262168932012-03-19T01:31:11.538-04:002012-03-19T01:31:11.538-04:00Some things I remember about Lela: She was always ...Some things I remember about Lela: She was always looking for her cats--she was afraid of the rain, and would come to the door asking Mom if she thought it would ever stop--she told us she dyed her hair with tea. Burt is a very faint memory, but once while passing,as they both sat there by the side of their house, Burt got up as if to chase us, that did it, I never went that close again!Susan Beaucheminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12603806959873249854noreply@blogger.com
