I think that was your uncle's place in CK. Anyway, we went up to the farm on Saturday to tear down an old house. In the process, I managed to step on a nail, and your dad took me to the old Dr. Torres hospital for a tetanus shot. <BR/><BR/>As the years went by, Ray and I probably disagreed as much as we agreed. Still, in later years, whenever I would meet him somewhere and we would be talking with one or more others, he would always take to recounting this story of my earliest days on Saipan.Votewise '07http://www.blogger.com/profile/11208926291657347616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9825779.post-2818045573054588282007-12-14T16:20:00.000+09:002007-12-14T16:20:00.000+09:00probably my favorite post i've read of yours thus far...<BR/><BR/>i'm jealous you have that sort of touchstone to your past....Rick MacPhersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14212405859751282835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9825779.post-90396315646405942012007-12-14T14:57:00.000+09:002007-12-14T14:57:00.000+09:00Your mom is beautiful, inside and out. Reading about your little boy behavior makes me less worried about Sommer's penchant for mischief. Things turn out good in the end. Thaks for sharing, I hope one day my children will have good things to say about me.Bonihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15228259965485925558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9825779.post-78950825258483441972007-12-14T14:44:00.000+09:002007-12-14T14:44:00.000+09:00You will treasure those for a lifetime whether anyone else reads them or not. <BR/><BR/>It will be interesting to use those as a 'time capsul' of life in the Saipan 70's/80's`.Bruce A.
