Once upon a time, somewhere in Indiana. . . . . . .
it started
and
the rest is history.
An evening out dancing and a little gambling at
the Grand Victoria Casino/Resort in
Rising Sun, Indiana.
Behind this beauty there WAS a beautiful sunset.
Judy and April (Anvil SmasHerNasty ) at the "Cornfed Derby Dames"
roller derby match in Muncie.
The opposing team and small fans.
This was our first derby--interesting, to say the least.
Victory lap.
Both teams after the match.
Grandniece, Kathy Cooke, and Hercules in her apartment in
Indianapolis.
Mmmm. Chips, salsa, and family at
Don Pablo's.
Back at the apartment.
An old German settlement, founded in the 1840's by a
German priest and an Austrian nun.
A typical fire hydrant.
A great place for lunch.
Oldenburg
The original (1875) firehouse.
Another saloon just across from the church.
The original 1845 church, now the offices and rectory.
Hagerstown wedding. Mr. and Mrs. John Paul Sutton.
John is Dennis' nephew.
Melissa (Dennis' sister) and Monte Sutton
The groom's parents.
Hanna and John dodging the rice.
Congratulations!
A Muncie visit.
Ball State University.
A cool off spot on Ball State's campus.
A visit from April Abernathy AKA Anvil SmasHerNasty ,
a Cornfed Derby Dame.
Fairmount, IN, the home of James Dean.
The museum in historic downtown.
Fairmount is also the hometown of Garfield's creator, Jim Davis.
Dr. Bob Sheets (National Hurricane Director--now retired) graduated with James Dean.
Graduating class was fewer than 60.
Lots of talent came out of Fairmont--must be the corn!
Of course, we're cool!
The art gallery--nice house.
REALLY cool now!
Still quite popular.
Boyhood farm/home of uncle.
Indian Motorcycle sales/shop, where James Dean bought his first cycle.
Joann and John Rainey's Muncie home, where we spent two evenings playing euchre and OH HELL!
Perhaps I should say, "being schooled in the art of euchre".
Yes, I know there are only 5 cards in a hand of euchre--this is just a pose.
Thanks again for the hospitality! It was GREEEEAAT.
We are heading into Ohio in the morning (Aug 5) and will visit the Port Clinton area
for a couple of weeks. Put-In-Bay is near and the home of the largest walleye catch,
a 600 lb/ 20 ft fish!
I hope to have a few of his brothers and/or sisters for lunch and dinner!
THE END
