<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Hi Listers:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Back durring WW II my family often went into town (Sweet
Home) to shop for groceries. We were living in the Shea house at Foster at
rhe time. My father bought that house in 1943.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>There was a butcher shop on Main Street just east of 9th
that was our last stop. I have no memory of what my parents bought that
day, but I do have a vivid memory of what the butcher gave my brother while they
wern't looking.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>He gave Doug a pig's tail. And Doug gave it to
me. I put it in my pocket.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Nothing happened until wash day (Monday, of course).
She set up the wash tubs and sorted out the clothes to wash (we had no
electricity at this time). When she found the pig's tail... You
could have heard her scream in Albany! 30 miles away.</FONT></DIV>
