Stories of the Week

Most Inspirational

An excerpt from Ardath Hampel Bumgarner 's Story:
Any of you who were in school at the time, no doubt remember we had no gym at school; we used the one in the Presbyterian Church at Laporte. It was several blocks from school and we walked back and forth to practice. The church is no longer there. It burned down in later years. Our team wasn't very good and I can't remember ever winning a game. But it was fun and I am so glad I had that eperience. I learned something about sportsmanship and how much fun it is to be a member of a team.

Funniest

An excerpt from Neil P Brady 's Story:
It was like the second day I was there I was up at the snack bar with Nancy and I heard for the first time this song by Willie Nelson “Momma's don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys.” I will never forget that song. I was very much attracted to Nancy almost at once. At the time I did not know what she was feeling though we got along great. You would have to read her story to find out. These moments in time were wonderful I just didn’t know “how much” I would fall for her yet. I stayed there and helped out with food and such. We went to a concert together I think I saw some other country band and John Fogerty. Maybe it was the Ozark Mountain Daredevils? He was playing the fiddle and I recognized quite a few songs that they played. I don’t recall who or what those songs were today though.

One Lisa the roommate also had her boyfriend move in. Now I got the couch because that is where I had been sleeping. He got her bed. And the three girls shared one room. That is when things got weird for me. Dave was his name I think.

This guy who joined us was living there for a little over a week when one day a older woman came knocking on the door. She was working for housing and asked me if I was living there. I was of course. She had complaints of some guy (named Dave) living there and she came to evict him. Come to find out It was not me. The people (girls) on the floor liked me. I was no trouble for anyone. Had I simply asked what she wanted first I would not have given myself up. Unfortunately I would now have to leave.

Most Unusual

An excerpt from Beverly Ann Sisk 's Story:
I remember back when I was young I had I guess you could call it a fling with one of my students. He was already out of school at the time. I was in my early 20ís; I think 22 or something, it never amounted to anything. Now my friend Nancy also got caught up in love. She divorced her husband so she could go with a student. I believe she was probably 20 and I think at the time the boy was 18. Now in those days this was a small town in central Florida and was that a huge scandal! Let me tell ya! It seemed everybody in town knew this was going on. Donít know how that turned out.
