1st grade Christmas program (old grade school gymnasium: now THAT was a cool school). During the singing of "Here Comes Susie Snowflake" Willie burped. We all got the giggles and I don't remember if Mrs. Allen thought it was funny or not. "You may be gone now Willie, but you are not forgotten."
It was probably about the 100th time I listened to the 8 track of Paradise by the Dashboard Lights; Willie was sick of it and took the 8 track out strung it out of the cartridge and tossed it out the window. I guess I was done listening to that one in his pick up! There were a lot of good memories with Willie and the gang. I believe it was 1988 that he passed away.
One time in Florian we ran into some trouble with the Steven boys. Well, Willie didn't, but I did. And Ol' Willie, he disappeared for about ten minutes and when he came out, the problem boys weren't around. Got in Willie's truck and he told me "they weren't so much trouble after I held their head in the toilet for awhile". Willie was a good friend, and a good guy to have as your friend!
