[AT] IH square baler questions

[Gene Waugh]

Boy, this list is becoming more and more a memory-jogger for me!

I well remember pulling sweet potato vines in the BIG garden with Mother 
(Cary-Apex area)---I would guess I was around 8 yrs old---Mother 
hollered "STOP"---which I did, cuz in that family, one did not question; 
one DID!  Mother ran to the house, got Cad's .22, and popped a young 
copperhead that I had just about grabbed ahold of.  Was I ever proud of 
my Mother!!!
