I am a bit melancholy as of late, because I recently helped my parents thin their belongings and sell the house that my dad built (and the house where I grew up). It was in a great small town in South Dakota, called Wolsey, which I have often referred to as "Mayberry of the North" due to its quaintness and Mayberryesque characters and characteristics. Now that my parents have moved to a larger town to be nearer to medical facilities and the watchful eye of my sister, I will likely have few reasons to visit my hometown any more. That saddens me...and yet I can't help but feel that I am a better person today because of that small-town upbringing. I guess it is true what they say...you can take the boy out of the small town, but you can't take the small town out of the boy (was it Calvin Coolidge who said that?).
Anyway, Merry Christmas to everyone, and God Bless you and yours! Greg (Minnesota's biggest TAGS fan) _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list [email protected] http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
