Donald E. Donald had a way with wise cracks. He had good delivery with his wit. He called friends “Slobber Butt” which just imagining a butthole slobbering sent me in spasms of laughter. He had plenty of instant wise-cracks and deserves recognition.

Devils in Bucks County
While stationed in Lakehurst, NJ, one sunny Sunday, about 1964, Don Lash, Dick Day, and I drove over to Bucks County, New Hope, Pennsylvania. New Hope was, hopefully still is, a quaint little down with outside cafĂ©’s, antique stores, outside fountains, and on and on. They also have a playhouse, and hey! I think James Mitchner was buried there.

Bad Word Sandwiches in the Navy
Me as Duty Driver.
Another New Jersey Navy tale;
When I was stationed with Helicopter Utility Squadron (HU-4)
at Lakehurst, New Jersey, once or twice a week, I had duty after regular work hours. Some times, because I had a government drivers
license I was the Duty Driver. If wheels
were needed I was their man.
One of the duties of the Duty Driver was to go to the chow
hall, after hours to pick up sandwiches for the night crew. We fondly called hose salami sandwiches, “Horse
Cock Sandwiches.”oHH
Anyway, one evening, doing my routine runs as duty driver I
dropped by the Chow Hall to pick up the night’s Horse Cock Sandwiches.
Two of the men got up my order when a dunk came out of the
office and asked what I wanted. I told
him and smiled when I said, “Horse Cock Sandwiches.”
The drunk did not smile.
He got in my face and said, “Do you think that is funny.”
He asked, “What is so funny about that?”
I shrugged.
He got close in my face.
We were having a standoff.
Finally, one of cooks handed me my sack and broke his glare.
When I got back to the duty office I tossed the sack of
sandwiches on the counter and said, “Enjoy!
I had to work for these, put on a show.”
The duty chief said, “How so?’
I told him.
The duty officer listened but did not say anything.
About a month later I was called to the main Barracks
Building office to a military hearing. The
drunk cook was the defendant. I had to tell the same story.

Ruby Laura Tyson Williams
Meet Ruby Laura Tyson. A new old picture of a relative. Ruby was born 1904, in Gordon, Palo, Texas. Her parents are John Forrest Tyson (1863-1936) and Ida Judson Gilbreath (1863-1907). From the dates I have, Ruby was only about 3 years old when her mother died. She married Frank Williams born 1902). I do not have any information yet of their destiny. I think it is a good picture.
Drucilla Wilson Huey and Obediah Hargraves & Nancy Elizabeth Huey Tyson
The first is Drusilla Wilson Huey (1825-1905), wife of John T. Huey (1826-1891). Both Drusilla and John were born in South Carolina and died in Cherokee County, Georgia. They are buried in the Bascomb Methodist Cemetery, near Woodstock.

Aisle 4
This is Big D’s BBQ, across HWY 400 in Dawsonville. Next door is a little BP convenience store. Back in the 1980s a Postal coworker Ken,bought some land nearby, which was also near Urara where they mined for gold in the 1800s. WAIT!! I have told this before so if you know what I’m about to tell move over and not waste your time. There is a little creek running through his property. With a 2 cycle engine Ken rigged up a gold panning machine. He was pleased with his contraption and wanted to show. He suggested I bring Anna and my two boys and meet him at the BP Station next door to the above BBQ eatery. On a Saturday afternoon we met. Ken suggested he and I go into the store and buy hotdogs, buns, soft drinks, etc.
