Individual Details

Roy could grab a rattlesnake, crack it like a whip and the head would pop off. Then added the snake rattles to his collection. Once lived/worked on a farm with the living room kitchen in Kansas, bedrooms in Colorado. Barn in Kansas, work shed in Colorado. Had the best hand/foot powered tools in the work shed. Fond memories of spending hours pedaling the drill press, holes in every piece of wood I could find. Loved spending hours around the coal stove in the living room, lite by kerosene lamps and listening to stories of the old days. Taught me to milk cows and goats, collect eggs and arrange eggs in a nest when he wanted hen's to incubate the eggs. Lost an eye in a wheat harvesting accident as a child, would squint his bad eye whenever he'd smile, laugh.
