Sarah and Romey in their 50s

Caption: "This was out on the farm, looking toward the creek --
so I must have been in my 50s."

This is exactly how I remember Pop (Roman Slabaugh). Pop left us when I was 9 in 1968. Before he left, though, he showed us what a great Grandpa he was by building us a tree house, a sandbox in a big tire, and various swings in the barn. He had a big Weimaraner dog named Coke. Coke was a nice dog, but he always scared me. I never saw him outside of this huge pen by the garage.
