Friend's,
Let me tell you a True Story!
When I was about 12 and soon to be 13 on April 14, 1979 my Best Friend and I George Shorter the 3rd who was about 11 years-old at the time and owned a 15' Square-Stern Grumman Canoe that was at least 25 years-old were looking for a place to Study after School that would be cool!
Geo and I decided to build a Cabin on his Canoe!
We decided to use an Old Canvas Tarp that we would put over our 1st wood framing job on a Canoe no Less!
Stay with Me on this my Friends because there is supposed to be some humor in this story if I can find it Tonight.....
Geo and I found some old 2 x 4's some nails a hand saw and maybe a tape measure. I doubt we had a level because it was to built on a Canoe for God Sakes!
We hadn't started our 1st Cabin that we would build on an Old Duck Platform yet because we start Construction our 1st "Fort" as we called it until after Hurricane Frederic on September 12th 1979!
Friend's I think we are going to stop right there for tonight because I got smoked today like a mullet and to be honest I am sloshing around like a minnow in a bucket!
To top things off I have a Black Hawk near me and it doesn't take any prisoners!
Especially not an American Indian like myself!
Geronimo and Cochise my Friend's!
I am huge fan of both Men and my Mother who was Creek or Cherokee and was within 1/16 or 1/8 Indian Heritage to get a Check for Life and Reparations personally took me to Fort Pickens as a Child to see Geronimo's Jail Cell where he actually walked a hole in the floor before being shipped off to Mount Vernon, Alabama to an Old Fort that until not long ago served as a State Mental Hospital!
Geronimo's old Jail Cell in Mount Vernon, Alabama is quite a miserable old cell and should be a Tourist Attraction!
Geronimo eventually winds up in Missouri and is even in Teddy Roosevelt's Inaugural Parade before his death!
I hope you find the time to visit both Wikipedia Pages!
Maybe I will pick up where I left off in Monday's Post with the rest of the Story about Geo and my valiant attempt to have a Cabin on his Canoe!
George went to LSU, Auburn worked for the Army in Columbus. Ga and eventually worked his way up to Regional Director of the Veteran's Administration in Jacksonville, Florida!
The last time that we spoke he was disappointed that he longer had the opportunity to work with Patients!
God Bless you George Shorter III!
"We both sure had some wonderful times fishing in our boats with our Dogs Betsy Ross and my Dog Jack on Hollinger's Island just South of Dog River in Mobile, County!"
"I know you and your family spent a lot of time not far from here at Bay Treat with your Family being Presbyterian!"
Bay Treat is the Presbyterian Retreat on Mobile Bay just South of Fairhope, Alabama!
