As a youth, who was your favorite movie star? Why?

John Wayne. He was just a rugged cowboy in most of his movies and that was where my roots came from so I enjoyed his movies.

Bible Verse- The Lord's Prayer

Pastime- Rabbit Hunting, We would take .22 rifle's and go up above the house and hunt Black Tail Jack Rabbits. They were a problem but it was probably more the fun of hunting that we did it. I don't care to hunt anymore with guns but love to go out with a camera instead.

More favorites:

TV Show: Rifleman, and Lone ranger and Zorro. Yeah that's three but I liked all of them a lot.

Song: "Hey Jude", by the Beatles. I was dancing to it with Marie once when I was tapped out by Leon Mallow. I was really liking Marie and didn't like that I got tapped out but I still walked her home after the dance.

Color: Blue

Tell your all-time favorites:

Food- Baked potatoes, I loved the peelings after they came out of the oven and after I had scooped out the potato and put butter into it then squeezing it together and taking a bite of that hard crusty peeling. Of course that wasn't my only favorite food since I absolutely love homemade ice cream and root beer.

Book- My favorite books from my youth was probably the books that mom had where we would go to identify birds that we would see in the yard at various times of the year. It was always fun to find out what they were.

Movie: Well I don't know that it was my favorite movie but the one I always remember the most was Old Yeller. I really did like it a lot even though it was very sad.

Tell about the Thanksgiving traditions of your youth.
I don't remember a lot of the traditions but it seems as though we use to go play basketball in the front of the barn where we had a hoop mounted. We couldn't really bounce the ball since it was all dirt in front of the barn but we could play Horse and we had a lot of fun. I do also remember preparing the turkey that we had raised that year. I was involved from the start when we caught it to when I helped eat it. I don't remember being upset by it because as i remember it was a pretty big turkey and I was a little bit scared of it.

What foods were on your Thanksgiving table?

Turkey, Carrot Pudding, mashed potatoes, rolls, fruit and juice. Well I am only guessing on most of these because that is what we have had most of the last several years at our home but I don't really remember what we had but I do remember always being too full after it was over.
