"A few weeks later, on the Saturday, he (Ennis) threw all Stoutamire's dirty horse blankets into the back of his pickup and took them down to the Quik Stop Car Wash to turn the high-pressure spray on them."  [story]

Both Jack and Ennis responded to stress by acting outwardly indignant and boisterous.

When Jack was a young boy, though it may not have been in his heart, he called his abusive father "Pa".

=farewell= A-B-Cs Mayor Will
I knew that I was remiss in my reading at the A-B-Cs board since the "50,000" celebration.  I am stunned to read that our steadfast and kindly mayor ended his tenure.  I've been so welcomed by him and comfortable here.  As one of the dear players mentioned, it will not be the same without him.  I surely agree.  I will miss him along with many others who have left the county.  Oh, dear, I hope and pray that Will knows I will always put on a fresh pot of coffee for him and have the cherry cake waiting.       

Bless and peace,
Mrs. Mary S. Twist

On the reunion day in 1967, the closer Jack and Ennis got, the more their steps were quickening.

The lonely life in the open air and those rough but beautiful surroundings slowly create a tenderness between the two men.

Jack and Ennis spent many happy nights together, sat around the campfire and bonded deeply, saying but few words.

Nightmares may be products of our subconscious, but dreams are magic windows through which we see our desired reality.

Ennis telephones to Texas and talks with Mrs. L. Twist about the dying of Jack.  She seemed stunned too.
