Disclaimer: The above historic events took place on various dates in January, not necessarily the 18th.
I remember the ceiling caving in as if it were yesterday. Rolling out of bed after a short nap and stepping into 6 inches of icy water is not something you forget.
I think I remember that first trip to The House of Lee, too. I remember Popsicle sticks as the parking lot surface and eating fried "schwimps" as the waitress called them.
Is the Charlie's you refer to in 1959 perhaps Charlie's Steakhouse on Dryades?
Ms Ginnie,
I can't believe you put the comment about Sue in your recount of January. She is not going to be happy. How do you remember all these things. I enjoy reading your accounts so much.
