I grew up in a circular neighborhood in Liberty. Mr. and Mrs. Randel were my neighbors. She was a kind and gracious woman…even when I rode my mini bike through the side of their yard. I have fond memories of the old neighborhood and the friendly people. Rest in peace Mrs. Randel.
My sister, Paula and I, grew up next door to the Randels. Yvonne was a great friend to my Mother, Rosemary Alford. I don’t know how they survived mine and Randy’s early years. One morning they were having coffee at Yvonne’s house and they heard a running noise on the roof. They went to investigate and Randy and I had crawled up their TV antennae to get on the roof. They found us running back and forth. I don’t think they crawled up to get us but we got down. I hope she and Mother get to have more coffee breaks together.
