I was sick and out of school for 6 weeks at that time. But my sister made a cowboy shirt for me which I had to wear anyway. Bob Gillette rode his bike over to visit me and when he was leaving, his wheel got caught in the gutter between the sidewalk and the lawn and he broke his leg. Actually, I think he was on his way to see Linda.
