My grandad and my grandma's brother were best friends - they worked together, hunted and fished together. They both worked at the shell plant in Quapaw during the war (to give you an idea of their age). Joe (my uncle) was up on a very tall homemade ladder hauling split oak shingles up to roof the barn. Nearly to the top, a rung busted and he slid all the way down, the rungs removing a little more meat of his shins as he passed each one. Grandpa nearly died laughing, said it was the funniest thing he'd seen. (Grandpa was also the one that killed a squirrel with a black walnut at a family reunion at Mohawk Park. He was a helluva pitcher, and he and a couple of brothers could literally squirrel hunt successfully with rocks. Someone called BS on this, so he picked up a green black walnut and fast-pitched a squirrel in front of everyone)</blockquote>
