Skating on Powder River and Beyond...

When I was in high school we used to skate down
by the bridge on Powder River. We used to make a
fire and roast marshmallows. Oh it was fun.

Old Mr. Culbertson, he wasn't much to look at
but boy could he skate. He came by and took my
hand and did I ever twirl around. He was a fancy
skater. I learned more about skating from him.
I was a good skater. I used to wear overalls
when I skated, they kept me warm.

Later, when I had Jane and the kids we'd all
skate at the Thex place. Then Clifford would
brings Kea and the boys down here for dinner.
Kea was the only girl, she and Jane were good
friends.

I'd make a big batch of fudge. Clifford would sit
down at the table and eat it til it was all gone.
