Junior was whipped by his mother. He was on the outs with his absentee father. He longed for Jimmy Hickerson who was like a big brother. Jimmy was killed in the war. Jimmy use to take the boys fishing. Junior decided to take Jimmy’s place. He did the duties of his older brother John and a hired hand. They had gone to fight in W/W2. John always tormented him. His mother abused him when he was late with his chores. He got permission to take his friends fishing in his buckboard. He took Dead Eye, Doc, Billy, Raymond, Lou, Turtle, Red Weakly, and Jughead. The boys went skinny dipping at Petersburg Beach on the Morgan farm. Some girls spied on them. Mr. Eichelberger, (Clayton) dislodged some snakes while noodling. They setup camp at the Doctors Hole. Each boy had a mishap. It was more of a misadventure than an adventure. Junior’s horse ran off. The rest of his friends caught a ride to town. He was late getting home in time to do his chores. His mother was waiting for him with a big stick. He was relieved to learn that his buddies had done his chores and the big stick was for a mean rooster.
