We always had at least one pig on the farm and sometimes more. I loved my pigs. They were pretty and intelligent. The one that I think about the most was Snowball who was a 350 pound white Yorkshire pig. Snowball became quite a pet. If you scratched her on her belly, she would first try to help you scratch while standing on three legs like a dog. Then she would give up and roll over to give me complete access to her belly. She would lie there and enjoy the scratching as long as I would give it.
The first house I remember living in was in Orangeburg, Kentucky when I was about four years old. The only running water in the house came out of the nozzle of a pump located in the center of the kitchen. The house held no bathroom. That duty was performed in an outhouse to the rear of the house. We only lived there six months and my memories of the house are thin. One Sunday morning sticks in my memory. We attended church in a small white building with black letters under the eve that read Orangeburg Methodist Church.
With the crispness of the early fall air, the thoughts of the boys of Malaga, Ohio turned to football. By the fourth grade most of us had received football helmets and shoulder pads. On Saturday, about a dozen or more of us converged in the church yard in the middle of town. There the two oldest boys, usually my older brother, Joe, and his best friend, Larry, would choose the sides.
