Several Years ago while we were in Mountain Home, Ark. my cousin Fred took us to see his cabin that he was building near Mountain Home. I covered myself with Skin so soft from Avon while my husband refused to wear anything that smelled that bad, he was no sissy, altho' he was warned. You guessed it, he came out of there with the little chiggers. I thought that I would have to take him to the hospital, but of course he refused, so after visiting Wallmart we stocked up on ointments, etc. He now refuses to go anywhere near where chiggers might be, but he will spray him self with repellent now, Ah, the memories, my cousin has since passed away.

Morning Cousin,
I'll tell you a story on Tom. This happened during his first year in
college. There was a kid from New York City who heard something about
chiggers, so Tommy invited him to come over to Pocahontas and they would go
chigger hunting. So the two of them spent several hours in the pasture and
woods here back of our house, and they didn't even find any tracks.
Needless to say, that poor city boy learned more than he ever wanted to
knnow about chiggers. I'm not sure Tom would want his story on the "LIZARD
LIST. "
Glad to know you are planning on a trip back here in July. What all are you
planning---of course this is your headquarters. Butch and I have been
rather idly planning a short trip north into Missouri where some of the King
family lived before they ever got to Arkansas. Pocahontas is planning a big
sesqui-centennial todo this coming September. Tom's beard is getting
bigger, and Butch's little goatee is escaping along his jaws! Can't say it
maked them any more good looking.
