Fences Louie Crew East Orange, NJ |
Fences After closing his hardware store, Dad would let my five buddies and me hold hands in a chain as the first one touched the sample strand of barbed wire, which electrified a little, then a little more, then lots, right through our chain, until one of us screamed. Dad would turn it off while we all laughed and asked to try again. That was in white Alabama in 1943, during WW2, when we bought our war bonds, unquestioningly sat in the front of the bus, and had not yet heard of other cattle prods nor understood electrocution.
