By: Michael T. “Josh” Fuller IS IT SPRINGTIME?

I was thinking about spring in the Lone Star State.

As I was sitting down to write this remembrance, I got to thinking about snow in New Orleans, because I was sick on a Saturday, might have been a heavy virus or possibly pneumonia.

I was lying on our sofa in the living room near the kitchen where mom could take care of me while she cooked. Mom had the teen next door resident, Sherry Faye Blitz, get a box and bring me some snow to help me feel better.

I felt so badly I would not even turn over to look at New Orleans snow on Feb. 12, 1958. I was seven. It was not yet spring, but we had we had less than three inches of snow.

Here in Texas, we are still in spring time and, thank goodness, there was no snow like our last snow at my apartment at Lake Holbrook. As cold as it’s been this week, it’s hard to believe it’s already spring here in The Lone Star State.

A little after that I was well and it was on another Saturday. I was watching cartoons and a fire truck ran almost in front of where I lived. For some reason I became concerned about a tree house I loved.

After breakfast, namely cereal, I rushed to the tree house and it was burned. How I knew or felt like I knew about the burning, I don’t know.

The burning of the tree house brokemy heart, and my friend LarryandI never went there again.

During the fifth grade we left Metairie Road and moved to West Metairie and changed schools.

Life went on, I grew up, got married and had children.

Life moves on and you have not seen this column for about a year. I had some severe health problems, but won’t bore you with the details. We are still trying to win my health war.
