He was always very nice to the kids in the neighborhood. He had the only swimming pool on the street and he let all of the neighbor kids swim if they would help clean the pool. Once while helping to sweep the pool, I got my foot caught in the skimmer and fell in. Of course, all the kids looked through the TV guide every week to be sure we watched every old western he played in. He had his ownmini fan club going. His kids kept leaving bicycles in the driveway. No matter how many times he told them not to, they continued to leave them there. One day when he came home from work, he ran over the bikes. The bikes were never left in the driveway again.
