Do you all remember the so-called "hot patches" that had a built-in area to set on fire? They were replaced by "cold patches" that didn't require such treatment. Cold patches were applied with a roller that bonded the rubber to the inner tube. All this became a thing of the past when tubeless tires became the standard.Gary Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02575335084434602017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3808025560801520338.post-71813258322121571872008-02-29T12:53:00.000-07:002008-02-29T12:53:00.000-07:00Thank you, Jay, for a wonderful story giving tribu...Thank you, Jay, for a wonderful story giving tribute to a fine lady. It seems to me that she would be quite proud of you. <BR/><BR/>My memory has record of reports of Dr. McGill. Though possibly incorrect; the stories were of him administering to the ill of the general area. It was not realized that he suffered from TB.<BR/><BR/>Don's accounts of Dana McGill are greatly anticipated. One story that sticks in my mind was the danger of prarie fires during the early times of the McGills.Phil Fousthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10080448958462248418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3808025560801520338.post-30488253362058046972008-02-29T10:45:00.000-07:002008-02-29T10:45:00.000-07:00As Gary mentioned, your mom's life and experience ...As Gary mentioned, your mom's life and experience on the early farm were much like my mother's in northern KS. You mentioned her cooking for the farm hands, and it reminded me of a worker my dad often used when there was extra work on our farm. Burt Bargis ( I can't vouch for the spelling) was a really big man, about the size of Grant Utt, and was a really good worker. He and my dad seemed to like each other a lot, but my mother hated to have Burt eat with us at noon. He was a very loud talker, had an odor around him that would indicate very few bathes, and ate like a horse. Mother was more of a prissy sort and Burt was not her cup of tea at all. I expect your mom was a little more tolerant.wayne woodruffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13313642238426372793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3808025560801520338.post-57636503140117599222008-02-29T08:19:00.000-07:002008-02-29T08:19:00.000-07:00Thank you Jay, this was most interesting.

Most married right in their neighborhood (the rural families), and others--like your mother--found a spouse when they left the meighborhood to teach school somewhere.<BR/> I plan to do a brief piece about Nellie's brother, Dana. I,m just waiting for a picture of him from Carl or Carla.DFCoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14972995929874326137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3808025560801520338.post-43207961881500996652008-02-29T07:45:00.000-07:002008-02-29T07:45:00.000-07:00Jay - I really enjoyed this about your mother.

She and my mother were friends.<BR/><BR/>Now I'll tell you about one of my birthday parties. My mother was somewhat of a nervvous person, especially with a house full of kids who were about 6 years old.<BR/>She had to get after you for walking on the coffee table. In retrospect, I imagine we were all<BR/>"sugared up" and running wild. I think this is a funny memory and I don't mean to be critical of a six year old after so many years. Don't take it wrong!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your memories of your mom.Diane Archer Bradburyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00562630953587077310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3808025560801520338.post-72562603614748351012008-02-29T07:17:00.000-07:002008-02-29T07:17:00.000-07:00A loving portrait, Jay D.

Interesting to hear that those ways of doing things were still alive in the next generation.Gary Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02575335084434602017noreply@blogger.com
