Tell a funny story about being on the road...

Once I had a field mouse get inside my RV. While driving on the highway it hid under by front seat and found some sunflower seeds.  I drove home with my pant legs stuck in the top of my socks.  Once home my sons and several boys got the little fellow out.

At 12 a singing cowboy or the next Elvis Presley was my ambition.

What is your favorite childhood memory?

I have so many child memories as the youngest of four I got by with a lot.  Once I made a tall werewolf costume. We lived in the country at a corner of a four way stop. At night as a car stopped I would run at the passenger side and knock on the window.  It was great fun tell the police were called.
