Picking up where I left off last week on the “good ole days” of my generation, I’ve always felt that I grew up during the best time a kid could ever ask for. The Vietnam War was ending in the early 70’s and the crazy 60’s...
As a kid who was raised in the outdoors of East Texas, my days growing up in Mt. Pleasant were filled with fun, fishing, hunting and work. A water hose was more than something you watered the garden with; it was a survival tool while we played outside...
