1 SAW TIGER SHAW the other day. He didn't
recognize me. There's no reason why he should.
When he was going with my big sister Christine,
was just one of the swarm of little brothers and
sisters who knew enough not to get too close to him
or you'd get Dutch rub with those big knuckles.
saw him in narrow street in town, unloading
truck into a warehouse, tattoos on his big meaty
arms his belly grown big as sack of cement, all of
him looking sour and surly and dispirited. II
seemed too bad, because he was beautiful young
man back when he was one of the best athletes they
ever had in the high school, He lasted year in
college before he got into scandal about throwing
games, and they let him go into the army
Christine and Tiger were pair of beautiful
people that summer.
There we're seven of us children in all. Now
there are six, and when we all get together, with all
our wives and husbands and kids, we think of Bunny
and saddened because he was the lttIest one of
all, and dear to u.s. The times of getting together
are rare, because we're scattered now Christmas

eldest is twelve. ALI the marriages are pretty good
Mine is 6ne
And when We get together, one of the things we
always do is to tell grandfather stories. There are
lot of them. He raised us, he and our mother. He
was big wild random old man, very partial to
dramatic scenes. At least half the things he did
made absolutely no sense to US as children. He
never explained. He just lived according to his

Cretchen's likes and dislikes. She could be natal
little, but not very much. She was nervous abOu,
the night, ignored cats, despised dogs, and would
bow very low in ceremonious oriental greeting when
anyone approached.
Tiger was at our place lot that summer \.
was hero, of course, huge and golden. But v.
quickly learned wariness. He was quick and h.
knew the places that hurt And he would roar with
laughter, and we, out of pride, would laugh with
him, though eyes might be stinging.
remember those long summer dusks after tn,
evening meal before the littlest ones had to be
shooed of to bed. We'd all be out in the side ward
and on the side porch, and Gretchen would come
padding up across the yard from the pond giving
oriental greetings.
ONE OF THE GRANDFATHER STORIES We don't tell
is about Tiger and the goose.
Gretchen was wary of Tiger Shaw, and it
seemed to be plausible instinct. As remember
that evening, Tiger was going to take Christine to
some sort of barn dance just over the county line
Christine had on a blue dress with little white
flowers. Her hair was brushed to a soft geam In
the country fashion, Tiger had to stay around for
little time before taking her away into the gathering
DUSK going down the road with her in that car Ofh
that made snarling sound that faded into the
distance, sounding as it died away like bee buring
nearby.
We kids were fooling around in the yard.
Sheila acting wistful. She was near to her dating
time, when the young men would be coming for her,
Our grandfather the porch in the rocker, and
of in the east, by the far hills, there darkness
and pink inaudible pulse of lightning.
Tiger and Christine were sitting few feet apart
and Gretchen plOdded up behind them, behind the
low bench, and with big whack of her white wings
made an awkward hop up onto the bench, leaned
the adoring curve of her neck toward Christine and
began, with little chucIdings, to preen the fine
strands of the golden hair.
We were all watching it, thinking uneasily that
Gretchen was uncommonly close to Tiger Shaw He
was very quick for such big muscley person, quick
without looking quick. And he was seldom without
cud of gum in his jaws. That is one of the memo
res of him, the knots working at the jaw corners
and the smell of spearmint.
He reached and took Gretchen high on the neck
with one hand, slipped the gum out of his mouth
with the other, and when she opened her bill to
yawp her protest, he thumbed the wad of gum up
into the hollow of the top of her beak He released
her at once and began to roar with laughter.
WE ALL LAUGHED 1t was SO ridiculous. Gretchen
closed her bill and it stuck She looked astonlshed

time goes by, we begin to see how some of the
nonsense things made sense

and owned the pond out in the side yard. We kids
were all her fellow geese, and she pIodded along
behind us, making small nervous sounds about ali
the dangers the world holds for an unwary goose.
She was blazing white and took excellent care Of
herself with that clever serrated BILL ANYBODY who
