Mountain Climbing and Sentry Duty

Uncle Dan drove his Model T Ford [that's a 1927 Model T in the image at left], and I remember the huge tall mountains that we climbed around Mineral Wells. Some mountains! To me.

Mama and I came home on the train, in a Pullman Car. I was bringing a horned frog home with me in a match box. Uncle Dan was a big tease. He told me to keep that frog in the box. I asked what would happen if it got out. He said they’d probably put me off the train, and I believed him. Didn’t sleep a wink, watching that match box.
