His name is Newt!

 In 1954 dd moved us to Belmont, NC.  I met a sweet pretty girl named Margaret.  Margaret had a great brother **Harold ( Called Woodsy on the School ball team.). He went on to be a pro baseball player.   They lived on the Climax Mill Village.  Thru those two I came in contact with most of the kids around my age group.  One of  the guys was called Newt. He was unique and had a great DRY humor.  Many of those folks have passed away.

I am not much on FaceBook but I went there today and read this:

10 FUN FACTS:

I had to laugh at the #1 because my mama thought I could. I remember many times she said, "Jackie, look behind your ears, that is dirt!"

WE see Newt once a week at church when we are in Belmont.  He sits on the front row, For some reason the preacher always sees over Newt's head,  and hits me every Sunday.  I might just move up front with Newt!

Not as hot here in Florida today.  One day it was actually cool, overcast and a little drizzle.

PS:  **Harold met and married a sweet girl in Michigan. He quit pro ball.  He told me once, "Baseball is not good for a married life.  Most of your year is away from home in one hotel room after another.
