Rivermoore You have heard it said . that ‘“‘It's a wise son that knows his own father."’ I have never presumed to be wise, maybe because I'm not sure who my father is. Is my father the man who begot me, a man I never saw, who placed me in my mother’s womb, and then was gone? Or was my cousin the closest thing I had to a father, a slightly older lad who used to beat me up, but who also taught me bike riding, swimming, baseball, tennis, carpentry, and some very-mixed-up facts of life? 0d 00 Was my father the man my mother married, who used to give the orders around the house, who spanked me, a man I feared and hated, who finally ordered me out of the house when | was seventeen when I told him I was through taking orders? Or, is my father a coach I had in high school, a man I briefly looked up te and whose advice I took? If it hadn't been for him I'd probably be in a penitentia- ry now, instead of writing * for the Susquehanna Bulle- tin. (Some readers would prefer I'd be in a penitentia- ry.
