Will's Life

Back in the USA Dunsmuir 1999

I will always be thankful for the Fall of 1999. Willie, who had been in Europe for about six years, came home.  He lived with us for about a month and it was really a great time for me. We played golf a few times together. (We were golfing when I took the picture above.) Willie did not golf a lot, but he always went out there thinking that he was going to win.  Throughout Willie's childhood we did a lot of playing together and it was just fun to be playing with him again.      Willie and I also worked on his Grandfather's Cadillac. The "Major" had given it to us because he had decided not to drive anymore. Will did not want to own a Cadillac so the plan was for us to fix it up, sell it, and split the money. We did not have a lot of success fixing it up, but we had fun trying and, eventually, we did manage to sell it.     Another fond memory of last fall was Will's cooking.  We could have gone over to the Major's to eat because Will's Mom was cooking over there every night, and some nights we did.  However, there were many nights when Will wanted to stay in and cook at home.  He really was a good cook and we gorged on his huge pasta creations while watching TV or playing CD's.     It was a great visit and I was sad to see him leave.  I was really proud of Will, though, because he did exactly what he said he was going to do.  He went to Tahoe and got jobs (that included ski passes) and a place to live and had a great winter back in the USA.                          Ken, Will's Dad ******************************************************  If you saw Will that Fall of 1999, before he went to Lake Tahoe,  email us and we'll share your remembrance, photo, e.t.c.
