      Harris John Tripp My Dad's Brother My Uncle Harris

      The Napier store is a real nice place to me. My Uncle Harris drove me here in his model T Ford over rough and rutted roads, just to buy me some pop. I order strawberry. Thats a big boy pop! Uncle Harris rolled out a half dollar. Wow he must be rrich! I don't remember seeing a half dollar before. My pop was a nickel! We talked, and he treated me like a big boy, I appreciated that. The year is 1928 and I am 5 years old! It was cold. It was snowy. The phone rings. There has been an accident! We all rush to the Boone hospital, Dad, Mom, Alice, Norma and I. Donald George Tripp's eyes are swollen shut, not expected to live. Uncle George David Tripp, blood all over, has a bad head cut. Uncle Harris Tripp is unconscious! We are all scared, what is going to happen. Dad stays at the hospital, Mom and us kids stay at Grandpa Shedd's house two doors from the hospital. We don't sleep much that night! The next day, as the picture clears, Donald will live, although, he has some recuperating to do. Uncle George and Aunt Mable will recover. A neighbor Stub Bassett, also in the accident, will be alright. What about Uncle Harris, he is still unconscious! After several days, with his brothers sitting up with him, keeping him in bed, it was decided that he should be taken home, nothing more they can do here. He is taken to Uncle George's house where he was staying before the accident. Uncle Harris's brothers all take turns staying with Uncle Harris. He rolled and flopped around in his bed, he had to be held in to keep him from rolling onto the floor and injuring himself further. It is the eighteenth day since the accident. Uncle Harris has been away for that long. But wait, he has opened his eyes! He slowly regains full consciousness! Welcome back Harris John Tripp! The year is 1934. We will remember this for a long, long time. Herman William Tripp--Remembering----
