Why Mothers Get Gray Hairs…(The rest of the story)
Two small errors crept into this article. First, the information
on which of my legs was doubly punctured and which still had the
bullet was garnered while I was lieing face down. Which reversed
the wounds. It is the right thigh in which the slug has been
lodged for 56 years.
But no one other than I will remember the second reporting
error now. After Dr. M.O. Larson had inspected and treated my
injuries, he arranged my transportation home. By coincidence,
our neighbor Don Barnard, who lived two houses east of the
Keizer residence, was at the doctor’s office and volunteered
to take me home. NOT in an “ambulance.” No one had
forewarned my mother, who was somewhat taken aback when Mr.
Barnard, our helpful Funeral Parlor Director, stopped his HEARSE
at our sidewalk and wheeled me up our walk on his casket gurney!
Mom was somewhat shaken and distraught. Milt Keizer-- 2/22/2003 |
