You know, I really like Fred. He sounds like someone I'd enjoy immensely...an interesting fellow, never boring.

That is fascinating.  No wonder you have been a daredevil with your travels and sing in church.  I wish I knew more of my family history and it had been recorded.

You tell Fred's story so well, so lovingly, you must really
feel a kinship with him. I never met a Fred who wasn't a bit colorful and perhaps a little crazy in a good way. Good thing he found his niche, even if his dad had to drag him into it.

I've known many wild young Freds, in my lifetime. Don't envy 'em a bit tho!

I'm glad she wrote about her experiences, and I'm glad that you carry on the tradition.

I enjoyed reading about Fred and his antics. Fred's antics sort of remind me about my father, who was always getting into trouble during his childhood.

Now Fred

I wonder where a few of his genes ended up Kabu. perhaps Wiley could get you a pony.

All my family on my fathers side loved horses, I admire them on the race track. A very nicely presented story sadly all these tales are vanishing, but will be probably valued greatly in time. Be lucky
