You learned me "sumthin"
Beel, you learned me that you are very protective of your stories. Sorry if I offended you in anyway. My only purpose was to see if I could get a rise out of you and, of course, make sure the younger generation got a true picture of what really took place at Fairview. Your words came back like falling rain so I ran under that umbrella tree. Speaking to the umbrella tree (scientific name: actinophylla) it appears this tree is an evergreen which the tree behind the backstop was. I think it really was a Pepper tree but can't be sure. However, neither the Umbrella tree or the Pepper tree has a tap root. Both of these trees have very greedy surface roots making it difficult if not impossible to garden or dig beneath. I think maybe you now realize that, because in your last message the cave has moved from behind the backstop to "somewhat" behind the backstop. Now, I hope you have learned "sumthin."
Oh yeah, were those Camels or Lucky Strikes that those kids were smoking down on the bridge during recess? I bet they were rolling their own.
Keep writing...........I love this.
