Boy I thought it was the most foul tasting food I ever ate.he also had small place just up above Uncle Joe Jeddores I'm not sure but I think it was Uncle Noel Louise's old house. I went in one time he was draining out his bear keg to put up another batch. He drained off about half a glass passing it to me saying have a drink of beer.my ego shot gight up at the mention of beer. I drank it thought no more about it until that evening when Steve came to our house as he often did. When he saw me he said.What ? not drunk yet? I went in under the steps and started to strike the wall with my fists as I thought all drunks was supposed to do. Steve heard me My God he said he just got drunk. did he ever laugh at that.
