Photo 16-KSH-17

Comments

Where I grew up and still in the family; my horses are here. Back small hog barns got demolished by a tornado, and the white fences for pens nearby are gone. So many trees are gone but a few news ones; it's crazy if you see it on Google Maps how different it is. The lane across went to grandma's house, where I live now. I don't remember it being there, but my brother does. We had a wire strung through the fence, about half a mile long that went between two wooden crank telephones mounted on the wall with the separate mouth piece and ear piece. You couldn't call anywhere else because the operators were gone and you would've had to know morse code to tap the number. It's now part of the airport and has hangars there.
