was a dark and stormy night

11 September 1954
Bainbridge Island, Washington:
3am... Daisy Hendricks noticed is was quiet, too quiet in the bassinet... first male child in the Hendrick family in almost 40 years... She sees he's stopped breathing.... Her daughter Karin Lee was sleeping... it had been a rough night needless to say... Grandma and mother were alone in the clinic... somehow, Daisy got her grandson to start breathing again.... and held him the rest of the night. The Doc and nurse arrived back at the clinic from the other side of the island around 4:30am....
And I've been a pain in the ass ever since...
We lost Grandma Daisy in '75 while I was oversea.... Mom passed away almost 12 years ago....
I got exiled to Ennis Montana the summer of '68, ya'll heard of Ennis... both Grubby and Hogan live there... Dad wanted to get me away from all "the bad influences" I was hanging around with at school... little did he know I was the BAD INFLUENCE... but I came back to Lost Angels after that summer, knowing how to drive, ride a horse, rope a calf, rebuild an engine... shoot a pistol, shotgun, and long rifle... and how to slop pigs, churn butter, milk a cow... not bad fer a thirteen year old city kid....
tomorrow... Fall of '68... 32 Funny Car shows and called on account of FOG??????
and where RoxyNova Racing came from....
