These are my Nephew's children. The two girls at the back belong to Doug an the otherFour belong to Dan. Haddie is the baby, she is in the bassenette...

Carol and I never had any chirldren, and Sis just produced two sons, but Dan, the youngest is making up for lost time. He and Jen are trying to set a record for most born.

Doug was lucky just to have the two girls. Jennifer is not supposed to bear children. I like both girls, but Jennifer, I sort of favor. Doug is one lucky kind of guy.

So, if our generation did not produce but two heirs, Dan is going to see that at least part of our heritage will live on. Of course, they will not bear the Justice name, but we are in there somewhere seeing that my Sis is their mother.

Carol and I were in San Antonio, on the River Walk, and we met some people from near Otterman, where Dan, and Virginnia and Doug lived at the time. We were on one of the boats going around the canal, and we met this older couple. We explained who we were, and we talked about our nephews. When they got back from Texas, Doug was on the golf course, and he has a Tee shirt with a big L on the back, and the name Luce. The guy was there from San Antionio and he comes up to Doug and says,"I met your Uncle in Texas."

The last place I left was Kouts,Indiana. I cannot tell you how much I love that small town. When I lived there, there were only 500 people living there. Main Stree was Route 49, which was which ran in a South bound direction. Kouts had five Churches, five gas stations, five taverns, a barbershop, and several good restaurants.

I was walking down the sidewalk one summer, and I hear this peck on a window, and I look over and it is Pete Hilliard, the owner of Hilliard's Restaurant. It is no longer there. He motioned for me to come in. He had a little fountain area, stools around a soda bar, and he offered me a soda. The soda bar over looked main street, so we sat on stools looking out his window, and Pete told me his sad tale.

"You know, I could have been a rich man." Pete stirred his coffee , looking down into the dark brew.

I reply, " Yes, how?"

"Colonel Sanders offered me a franchaise for all Northern Indiana, but I thought he was asking too much. Turns out, I could have been a rich man."

This is before KFC WAS BOUGHT UP. I'll bet Pete could have been even richer than he thought.

The reason I tell you this is because Dan now lives in Kouts. he bought the old Kruger house. A really fine house. And best of all, he is living in my town.
