...I've decided to give a "thank you" to:
The people in my small town who never minded me as a little kid cutting through their yards.
The old lady with the apple tree who never complained when I would climb it and eat apples.
The folks who hired me to mow their lawn, shovel their snow, and never worried about "liability".
Mrs. Ryan, who let every kid in the neighborhood play basketball on the backyard court she'd made for her son.
The people who gave me permission to fish on their property.
The farmers who gave my older brothers and I permission to hunt their land.
The theatre owner who allowed my friends and I to change his Marquee in return for free admittance to the movies.
And to everyone else who gave permission, because in the old days people shared, didn't sue at the drop of a hat, and were generous, trusting, and enjoyed giving a little of what they had for others to enjoy.
Thank you! I know many of you are up in Heaven, where you belong. I miss you.
