For me the
holiday season was always the most rewarding time of the year as a child
interested in hunting. I had every issue of deer and deer hunting
magazine to fill in during the non-holiday months. But hearing and
seeing hunting as a kid can never be replaced..those memories will stick
with you the rest of your years. During Christmas and Thanksgiving, we
started a tradition. My Grandfather, God rest his soul, used to sit down
after the meal and tell us of all the deer hunting stories he remembered
growing up. For me their was no better story teller that lived.
Thus, technology was on a roll. Bill Gates had founded
the Microsoft Corporation in 1975 and McDonalds had created a drive
thru. However, my mother was more interested in her own life and leisure
time. In the seventies she had graduated high school, entered the
workforce, and married my father in 1976 and started her own
family.
James Douglas Muir Leno was born April 28, 1950, in New
Rochelle, New York. His Italian father Angelo sold insurance and his
Scottish mother Cathryn was a housewife. http://auto.howstuffworks.com/1959-chevrolet-fleetside-pickup.htm&rct=j&q=&esrc=s
Last month, customers from the business and
government sector purchased a total of 1.2 million cars and trucks. 56.9
percent of said figure came from local automakers. That makes sales rise
by 55.4 percent from the previous year. The questions continued and
I kept dodging them. Finally he dismissed me with a frustrated wave of
his hand. I went back through the corridor that Li-Li had led me
earlier, but I didn't see her when I returned to the bar. In fact, I
never saw her again nor did I ever return to the Shadow Bar.
After a year at Ohio University and a summer working at a
buy truck used
assembly plant in Wayne, Michigan, I returned to my home in South
Amherst and took a job with the Nordson Company as a tool & die maker's
apprentice. To digress a bit, I need to tell you that Sgt. Grace lied. First,
the language I was assigned to study was Vietnamese. Second, after going
through the 101st Airborne Division's jungle combat school in Phan Rang,
I was assigned to the 1st Brigade, a reactionary unit. I joined them in
Dak To, and early the next morning was flown out to join an artillery
battery in what was called "Operation Eagle Bait". Didn't take long to
find out we were the bait, and Charlie was the eagle. The objective was
to tempt the Viet Cong into attacking us, then bring in an assault wave
of Huey's loaded with infantry, and wipe the enemy out. What I quickly
discovered is that there is nothing in the world comparable to the first
night you are brought out of a deep sleep by M-60 machine gun fire. I know that $20,900 is a goodly sum of money, but in 13 years we
more than doubled our money. And that is looking at just the financial
aspect of it. The many wonderful hours we had working on something
together that we both love, you can't even put a price tag on
that. In the weeks following, Charles started overhauling
his truck. After tying the knot at the top of Squaw Valley, Tucker and
his wife booked their awesome honeymoon. Bennett has started flight
school and will soon be flying to Alaska for some mountain climbing
there.
