Mark and Mike Go To Florida - Part 2

Day two of our journey was a breeze. Off early and through Atlanta at around 6:30 am. Our plan worked to perfection since we zipped through the city without any problem. Greta, our English accented Garmin assisted Mark (because I conned him into driving through Atlanta) but we really didn't need any. The drive through Georgia and Florida was uneventful and without problem. We had great weather both days and at 2:00 pm we were cruising through Tampa (because I conned him into driving) and on on to St. Petersburg.
After a quick emptying of the truck everyone gathered at Three Birds for supper, beer, rain and a few pool games. Joining in the fun were Brendan and Rachel, Mackenzie and Drew, and Nancy.
The next day we went to the beach and Mark had a chance to be a passenger for a change and relax.

Not Mark's plane, but saw this one taking off heading to the airport after dropping him off at Tampa International.

Mark it was a lot of fun riding down with you and although I am not proud of conning you to drive through the cities, I can live with myself. We haven't been that close together for that long since our carefree days in the womb. I really appreciate your sacrifice, expense and having to put up with me. It was an adventure to remember. Thank you so much.

Class, Or Lack Thereof The Dwight Vice gravestone in Oquawka, Illinois. I bring this old chestnut out every so often just to remind me that class is classless. Dwight Vice was killed in his home near Oquawka in 2001. It was one of those things that can generate crime: two guys thought Dwight had a lot of money stashed at home because of his pot-selling sideline to supplement his fishing job. Not really one of those big drug deals gone-bad things. Marijuana was, according to the trial, about the only stuff Dwight sold. But these two guys barge into the house and killed Dwight and attempted to kill his 11 year old kid, Darryl, before they took off with what money they could find. His son, now 23, was stabbed in the back and left for dead. He survived and is wheelchair bound and has undergone several surgeries to repair his wounds. He will be paralyzed for life. None of this is pleasant. Reading the f...

The Mary Davis Home - Part 2

None of these pictures were taken by me, they came right from the MDH website. I am posting these so that friends who have never seen inside where I worked can gain access. After 27 years I have many stories, tales and acquaintances. But, I wouldn't know how to express them appropriately in a few paragraphs. I enjoyed 98% of my stay there and hope I made a difference in the lives of a fraction of the kids who entered. The original MDH at this site was just the front part. The large red-roofed area in back was added on in the 90's. This is the Jerry Carlton library. It was unofficially named after one of the counselors who truly loved the place. He passed away around 2002, I think. Mr. Farber looks like he is explaining a few things to a client. The classroom. Activity area with the gym behind the windows. Another shot of the classroom. It was a little different area to teach since we had 2 classes and 2 teachers i...

Flashback Friday - Cold Case - Part One

53 years ago today, Gordon "Peel" Duncan walked into the dark post office in Seaton Illinois and was brutally assaulted by an individual or individuals. He died two days later. The murder was never solved. Gordon Duncan was one of the publishers of the Seaton Independent, a weekly newspaper in town that started in the late 1800's and stopped publishing in the 60's. We boys were just young children when this took place, but we have been fascinated by it ever since. The imagination of kids, I suppose or maybe the fact that it was unsolved. Regardless, this was a big deal in our little lives. For our parents it tended to shatter the idea that Seaton, our town, was safe. That it could fend off the forces of evil in the world, that in our little universe we would be impervious to harm was gone forever. For us kids I don't suppose we were old enough to know real fear. Fear for us was not getting our list ...
