Remember when we were young and it was Halloween? The anticipation was too much. What will I be this year? Should I be a fireman, a football player, a ballerina? What should I be? I would always have some great ideas but when Halloween came around I would always decide on being a hobo. Yes this year I’ll be a hobo. Like I really had a choice. Oh how I would have loved a Major Matt Mason mask and costume. That flimsy mask would tear or you would break the rubber band on it before you even started T or T’ing Every year it was the same thing. What should I be? And then I would always be a hobo. Why a friggin’ hobo? That was an easy costume. Just put on my
school clothes, go downstairs, move John out of the way, grab some coal, rub it on my face and off I went. The great part about it was you could start trick or treating right after school because you didn’t have to change your clothes.
I still remember one Halloween we made up a dummy and we leaned it against the telephone pole on the corner. You know the pole we would always kicked to turn the street light off. Anyway we sat it there and tied a string on his arm, threw the string over the wires and ran the string up to our porch. As the traffic went by we pulled the string and the arm would wave. All kinds of people honked and waved but 2 girls came along and sat down by it and started to play with it. Hey girls you got the real thing up here on the porch. But those girls didn’t care they wanted the strong silent type I guess. That dummy got more action that night than I did in high school.

Remember when Jeff used to be cute? Heck, he was downright adorable in that picture.
Joe, once again you cracked me up. Thanks....
Shut up! The doctor said it would staighten out my head. Hope mom got her money back on that one.
Jeff, you make me laugh too. Can't wait to get back home when everyone is talking over everyone else and we can't understand what others are saying. And it doesn't matter because we don't listen anyway.
So someone at work accused me of being a thunder stealer....I wouldn't know where I got that trait from at all....
Kind of looks like the Hindenburg is trying to dock. OH THE HUMANITY!
He was drying his hair?
I always suspected Jeff had some female tendencies...it's beauty shop and good eyes.
Love the hobo story honey...product of the 50's aren't we? The only halloween picture of me that I can find is as a girl hobo. I had the hobo clothes, and one of those plastic princess masks with the elastic string...so I guess that made me the princess of the hobo's.
Attention all Bozarths: Keep the RE Christmas e-mails alive until December 24th. There will be a little something extra from Santa Claus.
Well Jay had corrective shoes and Jeff had a corrective helmet.
Neither one worked.
