My dad and him never really got along. I found myself up to my uncle`s house from time to time. One time I went in his pool and I wasn't a good swimmer he picked me up and threw me in the deep part of the pool and down under I went. He came and got me out and laughed. I don`t recall what age I was maybe 10. Another time I went snow riding with a friend on my uncle's hill and he was out watching us and fooling around. He picked up handful of those brown burs and rubbed them on the side of my face and ear, well I was a mess. I had burs sticking out of my face, neck and ear. My mom had to pull them out one by one. Thats something I'll never forget. One year my sister sent us Christmas gifts from Calif and the Ups man took the box to Ralph's and he kept our gifts. Are you getting the feel for this man ? When I was 16 and up to Ralph's again ( why I went there after all these things he did to me I'll never know ! Guess I was dumb. Anyway he asked if I wanted a drink, sure I'll have something. Well boy did he fix me a drink, the room started spinning around and around. Then I got sick on his rug! He got mad and called my boyfriend ( now my husband ) who worked with Ralph cutting firewood. He told Tom to come and get me out of his house. I couldn't go home like that so Tom had to walk me around the woodlot until I was better. Ralph came down and gave my father flat tires, my father just knew it was him. Well thats all for tonight. I`ll try to write some more tomorrow night. Hope this was ok!
