Folklore and Tall Tales
Most of us have community stories and tall tales that we share around a campfire or a candle lit stormy night. Early settlers to America had little means of communication with others outside their immdediate area, and most had little education. So, folklore and superstition took the place of 24X7 news stories. Some of those stories are fascinating, some are funny and some are scary. One legacy of seniors is memory of the stories. This is a place to share them with fun and respect for those who thrived in hardships with the best information available to them.

Hello everyone.

This is Dee’s wife he told me a month ago that if anything ever happens to contact friends and let them know.

Yesterday around 4:00 PM Dee was in a car accident it just so happened he was near a hospital. This is the first chance to tell about him. he was in a bad way and the doctors didn’t know if he would make it through the night. I stayed with him all night and this morning the doctor said he still not out of danger but staying with us through the night is a good sign. He’s in a coma but he has feeling down both legs.

A young teen was trying to speed through a red light with out stopping they figure he was traveling at about 50 MPH.

Thats about all I know for now but will keep people informed about his condition.

Please know that you and Dee are in my thoughts and prayers. I enjoy his stories, and will miss them until he is well enough to tell more.

 

Please keep us informed about his condition.
