That evening, my first nephew came into the world. His name was Charles Tres' Winkler. It is hard to believe that he is a sophomore in High School and is on the golf team. There are 2 stories both of which took place as a young lad. I did want to tell you about. First, Tres in 1994, like many other kids were into the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and there was one morning he was about to do something wrong and Marlene asked him what do bad boys get when they don't behave themselves and Tres' said "Rangers" and Marlene said "Bad Boys don't get Rangers, they get spankins" and then almost a year later he came to visit and was immersed into the movie "Forrest Gump" by watching it three times, he wanted to watch a fourth time and my mom said to him "Forrest is tired, he is taking a nap". I have purchased Christmas presents for many years for Tres', one I felt I was proud of was in 1997, when I got him "Chutes and Ladders" because he was going to start having math when he began first grade.

    Pepper, our cat was also born on this day supposedly on a Pennsylvania farm. But Pepper wasn't part of the family until July 4th. Pepper had a black spot which is no longer there, at first thought it was a girl cat and I remember Grandma McGinnis called Pepper "Little Crystal" because we had a similar looking cat named Crystal. My parents picked up the cat at a Flea Market.
