Everything one can imagine or never believe happened! However, the biography being written by a lady author as we speak, published by Heritage House Publishers for release next year in the fall will have a few or whatever the author will write. I eventually will do another book of stories myself as I've been told dozens upon dozens of times... "You must do a book with all the stories and a few pictures." So I've been writing and keeping notes & collecting them over the years. So one of these days I suppose I'll put them all together and do book. :-) cheers, ted > On Sep 16, 2012, at 12:48 PM, <tedgrant at shaw.ca> wrote: > >> >> Hi CREW! :-) a two holer story... and no I left the Leica's behind! :-) >> >> You guys want to be on a cattle round-up out in the back country with a 2 >> holer about 2 a.m. on a pitch black night and you are "somewhat under the >> influence of the toxic liquid known as alcohol! :-) !" >> >> Then in the dark step in a hole in the ground, fall, get the wind knocked >> out of you to the extent you can't get up because the toxic liquid isn't >> allowing any sense of body, legs, balance to function and about an hour >> later in the cold of the fall night.
