It happens in threes I was told years ago... Jim Clay, Fred Gifford.. and now Bob. Met Bob when I was 14. Told him about some dynamite I found dated 08/30/1943...Recon he got it cause its long gone now. Bob is why I went into the "Peace Officer" profession. 38 years and 1 day for me... never figured I'd be related to him through marriages and such. R.I.P. Bob... take that dynamite I told you about and use it well during the next lightning and rainstorm up there...
