B.J. Fudge remembers pioneer washings in olden days

Plus corollary memory of advance in platform for kettle with advent of quart motor oil cans, and demise of invention when metal oil can use was abandoned

By Billy Joe Fudge

I remember my folks heating water outdoors over an open fire in the old three-legged black kettle in the 50's and early 60's. That old kettle got a lot of use for heating water, rendering lard, making lye soap, etc.

I remember when the three legs were set on stones to put the kettle high enough off the ground to make room for a fire. My grandmother made a giant leap forward past rocks by sticking the legs into the large hole in the top of empty, quart motor oil cans. This method had to be abandoned, however, when the industry started making the quart cans out of a treated paper product instead of metal..

I guess most folks my age remember having to penetrate the top of motor oil cans with a spout that cut a hole into the top of the cans. B.J. Fudge

Authoritative story from the Bride to Be

As I was driving to Joe's house after visiting with my grandparents Sunday afternoon I came upon a huge sign on Green River Bridge that said, "AUBREY WILL YOU MARRY ME".

I almost wrecked, and by the time he came into my view across the bridge I was in tears. I parked my car and he was waiting on one knee with my dream ring "a ruby" and just the right words I've been waiting to hear.

Cars were honking and people wrote me for two days straight saying they saw my sign ha, i felt almost famous. Needless to say it was picture perfect. Joseph Davis is 22 and from Campbellsville currently a nursing student at CU and I, Aubrey Skutt soon to be Davis :) am 20 and a Music Education student at CU from Columbia and honestly couldn't be happier!
