(From left: Nana, Uncle Paul, Grandma, Mike, Jay, Poppy, Author. Note the high school photo of Uncle Paul atop the piano. )I found this photo in a box and remember seeing it on Grandma's refrigerator many years ago. The photo was snapped before the folks went off to a Christmas party. We were left as a sleepover, obviously. I saw a ghost that night.
Reader responds: the year must be 1971. michael was born in jan 1970. what wonderful fun times. yes, i remember you telling me about the ghost. grandma told you it was uncle paul, coming up the stairs and not a ghost. still believe it was a ghost?
It was a ghost, for sure.
My dad was knocked overboard when a hose became loose during a refueling effort.
I found this edition of the Springfield Rifle in a photo album that belonged to my grandmother. I've heard this story and had seen the article but this version of the Springfield Rifle was in plastic and pristine.
Good job there, Buddy.
