Becca (Kiker) Frierson - (72)

WALTER WOODS....WHAT A GUY!! HE AND MY DAD, JOHN KIKER WERE BIG BUDDIES!! WELL ONE DAY I HAD THE MUMPS, MEASLES, STRIP THROAT OR SOMETHING THAT KEPT ME HOME FROM SCHOOL...AND I WOULD HAVE RATHER BEEN AT SCHOOL THAN AT HOME ALONE,, WHICH WAS A MISTAKE...HA WELL ANYWAY... AT ABOUT TIME FOR SCHOOL TO LET OUT I COULDN'T STAND IT .. SO I FOUND A RED WIG OF BUELENE'S AND I THINK I WAS A FRESHMAN MAYBE JUST AN EIGHTH GRADER... AND I GOT IN BUELENE'S CHEVY II AND DROVE IT TO THE SCHOOL AND DROVE AROUND SEEING EVERYBODY AS THEY GOT OUT OF SCHOOL. WELL GUESS WHO RECOGNIZED ME??? WALTER WOODS.. HE DROVE STRAIGHT TO THE CITY HALL AND SAID... "PUNK, I THINK I JUST SAW BECCA WITH A RED WIG ON DRIVING AROUND THE SCHOOL HOUSE, WAS THERE ANY REASON SHE WAS DOING THAT?" AND OF COURSE THERE WASN'T ... DADDY AND HE PROBABLY GOT A LAUGH OUT OF IT... BUT I DID GET CAUGHT...AGAIN!!! THEY HAD MOVED BY THE TIME I GOT MY LICENSE TO DRIVE.. AND I AM KINDA GLAD... CAUSE DADDY AND HE WOULD'VE KEPT A CLOSE EYE ON ME!!! NOT THAT I NEEDED IT!! THOSE WERE THE GOOD OLE' DAYS HUH?? I PRINTED THAT PICTURE, TO TAKE AND SHOW MOTHER!! SHE IS SO IMPRESSED WITH COMPUTER WORKS.. HA WALTER WOODS WAS WELL RESPECTED!! WELL LIKED AND I KNOW IS DEARLY MISSED BY HIS FAMILY!!
