Mel Fisher was born 61 years ago today!

His life has been filled with many happy events, as that is his outlook on life. He is always cheerful and has something humorous to share.

Floy Ruggles and my mom, Alice Gregory are sisters and when we were kids, we lived only about 10 miles "as the crow flies" apart. They lived south of Laird and we lived southeast of Haigler. We went to church together, we spent holidays together, we went to school together, we still spend time together whenever we get the chance. So Mel, Garry and Sharna - Floys kids are like brothers and sister to us Gregory kids! (we are all around the age of 60! now)

So here is a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEL!!!

Response to Don Smith's Picture Story

I remember this big old house and Don, Mary, Mel and Patty Smith!!! Also Pat and Catherine Smith.

Our church had an ice skating party on that pond one Saturday night. I think I cracked my tailbone when falling on the ice that night, but I was having so much fun it didn't matter. It was SOOOOOOOOOOO cold that night and we had a big bonfire, roasted marshmallows and had hot chocolate. My brother, Dick Gregory, had a 1959 yellow and white Ford convertible car. He and my cousin, Mel Fisher, took that car out on the pond and slid all around on it and I was so scared that the ice would break through!!.

Thank you, Don, for bringing back some special memories of you and your family!
