One thing never forgotten was the road trip the 5 Grand kids and 3 adults drove all the way to Washington D.C., Philadelphia, Boston, and New York City site seeing and kinfolk visiting.
Grand Dad had Sonny, Little Brother, Ouida, Chester and Me (Pat) in that old Buick for the whole ride. One of the most exciting rolling events was when a tire blew out just as we started down from the top of the Blue Ridge mountains.
That was scary!
Another surprise came when a D.C. kid that was playing close to where we were parked in the car, came over and asked us if we had horses and cows or oil wells at home (he saw the Texas plates on the car).
We were some happy kids on that trip Sonny and you have to know that Pam was pretty happy too. Rest in PEACE cuz.
You should know that I share your profound grief in the loss of our loved one and friend, William "Sonny" McDonald.
