"I have enjoyed all the memories around Don Williams and Gene Zwick. What most may not know is that Gene Zwick was a dedicated physical fitness addict. In high school, he had a six-pack set of abs! His mother accompanied us on speech tournaments, but I do not recall meeting his father." Allen C. Isbell
Do not try this at home......
1). "Givins Station was the place to go and get a nickel coke in the early 50's. Mike Wade also showed us how to cash in on the penny peanut machine there. We would put in a penny and turn the knob slowly until we heard the first click. Then shake the machine and turn again and after each click shake the machine and so on. Usually got a nickels worth of peanuts after the last click. Really skillful stuff."
2). "Johnson's Bakery in the early 60's, probably 62ish, I would go into Johnson's after finishing a night clerk job at a motel. Also had a day job. Was always terribly tired that summer. Like duh.. Anyway, there was a really cute girl who worked at Johnson's and always wanted to ask her out, but just did not have any time. But, as tired as I was I made it a point to see her at least every other day."
