Well, we won that game and Mickey Bozarth was carried off the field as the deciding factor in preventing Hamilton from scoring. I thought my mother was going to fall off the stands she was so excited. The Dallas Cowboys give her that thrill now. I would say Lampasas was a great place for a kid to grow up. I skated those sidewalks and rode my bicycle all over that town and life was pretty simple then.
Old men sit on the town square whittling on wood, once in a while talking.
My grandpa was one of those who could be found there most afternoons, and was good for a nickel or dime, with which you could buy a candy bar and a RC Cola in those days. Window shopping on the square on Saturday night was a popular activity, or just sitting in your car and people watching. I really think we have lost something along the way.
