I just hate it when somebody tells me that "they're busy". .. but I have been busy. Some of the reasons that I've been busy can't be discussed on a blog. Maybe I'll send all my regular commenters a "Christmas letter" of sorts. Humm... Unfortunately, that would leave out all the anonymous commenters. There is some justice in the world don't you think? <br /><br />I remember the name Fted Fluke but can't place him. I seem to recall a "Fred Fluke Lumber Company".

Anyway he got a hold of Oma Teague.<br />According to Oma, her and Cliff were headed to Oregon from Arkansas in 1951 to work for Cliff's uncle. They stopped in Phillipsville, CA for gas and was told they needed to go back to Garberville to get gas. They ran into this guy at the Mobil station named Shine Sherburn and he offered Cliff a job at the mill by the Briceland Bridge and so that is where Cliff and Oma lived and worked.<br />I do have Oma's phone number if you are interested in talking to her. She remembers everything and likes to talk about the old days."<br /><br />Oregon <br /><br />Fred and Ann Fluke stopped by the other day and visited awhile! <br />Any you folks know them??<br /><br />Ross Sherburnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-924013241079711992.post-77675705542390372402013-04-02T06:47:32.769-07:002013-04-02T06:47:32.769-07:00Anon,That was a good read!
