Awsome Parents!

Hi,

The Lloyd that your Dad talked about was my Dad.

Doug, Lloyd “Little Lloyd”, and myself are his sons. We also have a sister Norma. Veda Douglass is Mom.

I remember when I was a little fellow, maybe eight or nine, your Dad let my Dad get some wood out your old farm house and Little Lloyd, Doug, and I were sent to get it. I found a plastic powder horn up-stairs and thought it was cool so I took it home. In my young mind it was a discard in an old house that was being torn down so finders keepers I figured. When Dad asked me where I got it and heard the story he made me return it along with a letter of apology. I was heart broken and very embarrassed.

Several years later, I think I was 15 or 16, I received a package in the mail from your Mom. Imagine my surprise when I opened the box and inside was that old powder horn along with a note saying it was mine to keep! I wish I still had it.

In browsing through old Haigler Blogs I have stumbled across a picture of Dad standing by an old Oliver combine, submitted by Al Zuege, and a photo of the house we grew up in when it was new. I think it was submitted by Calvin. The old house is still there. Steve and Jody Crouse live in it now.

Thanks for the memories.

Editor's Note: This story about our parents was just too good not to share. I wonder what kind of world we would live in today, if all parents were like ours!!
