Jack - I think you're right about how where and when. When I was a kid, it was unusual to see a rural boy with a shirt on in the hot summertime. Heck - I didn't wear shoes in the summer until I was 11 or 12 years old. Speaking of shoes - we had an old neighbor who went barefoot all of the time. Rolled his pants cuffs up about four turns. He must have been in his sixties when I knew him. I looked out one Christmas day to see Fritz walking down the road barefoot. No snow on the ground, but it was cold. He was a lifelong bachelor, for good reason, I suppose. Drove an Oliver 55? tractor for transportation. Hooked up the manure spreader if he was going to the store and needed to carry something home. I guess my description of him makes him sound like an idiot, but he was really a good old honest man. Played a fiddle like it was on fire. Those old interesting people are long gone and I miss them. I often wonder who the young folks will think back about when they get older. I'm afraid it might be me. . .
