<DIV><BR></DIV>Cecil, I hardly know of anyone who has had a more colorful life
than you! You must have a karmic connection to the strange, the bizarre,
the unexpected. Ha!

<FONT face=Arial>They robbed the bank in Sweet Home</FONT> <FONT
face=Arial>I forget the year, but it was some time in the late 1940's, but
it was before 1948.</FONT> <FONT face=Arial>The old bank building on
Long Street is now gone, but for years there were bullet holes in the
outside walls of the that bank; the result of a holdup.</FONT> <FONT
face=Arial>My brother (the late Doug Houk), was playing down on the Santiam
River, near the covered bridge at Foster. He saw some fellows hide
"something" in the bushes near that bridge. He told our father about
it, and dad went into town and called the FBI.</FONT> <FONT
face=Arial>This story was reenacted on one of the radio crime programs that
were so popular back then.</FONT> <FONT face=Arial>In 1948 we moved
from Foster to near the east end of Long Street. Guess who lived next
door? The family of the young man, fresh out of jail, who was party to
that robbery!!! YIKES!!!!!!!</FONT> <FONT
