1964
Steve and I took another big trip in 1964. We still lived in Tulsa, but I guess Mama & Daddy couldn’t make it to the Sprouse Family Reunion in Colorado. So, Steve and I took a bus from Tulsa to Albuquerque and then we rode with Grandma and Grandpa. The photo above is Grandma and her two sisters, Wanda and Helen. They had five brothers, Bob, Fred, Eugene, Jack and Montie Joe, who is in his 90’s now and the only one still living. Montie Joe, everybody’s favorite uncle, and the youngest of Grandma’s siblings. I only remember one thing about this trip, and it left a lasting, scandalous impression. I’ve never told anyone till now. On the bus trip Steve and I took alone, we found a Playboy magazine. We took turns scrunched down by the window, looking at it, trying to hide while the other one was the lookout. I remember being embarrassed. And we never talked about it again. You’d think I would have remembered the kittens, or something!
