<p>[QUOTE="C G Memminger, post: 2012913, member: 71506"]gotta go back to 1967 or so. I was 6, the middle of three bros. Daddy was a lawyer (as was his dad and as am I). Daddy was always willing to take interesting items in lieu of cash. On one occasion, he accepted a shotgun, two live chickens and a big coffee can full of dimes, quarters and halves. The birds were dropped off at my Cajun grandmother's house (she knew what to do with them), the shotgun went into the gun cabinet, and the coffee can sat in the middle of the breakfast table.</p><p><br /></p><p>"Hey Boys, Check it Out!" he dumped the coins onto the table. I had never seen that much money. "Who wants to help me sort these?" My brothers stepped backwards. I was mesmerized. and officially hooked.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
