Personal Notes:
Daddy made this a lot. Here is the place for the famous LORAN HOG STORY. One summer day, the hog got out of the pen. We figure the hog must have gotten out of the pen several times before. Grandma told Ralph and Fidelis who were young adults at this time, to put the hog back and fix the pen. The family had been eating fresh vegetables and melons and eggs and were hungry for something more substantial, because Fidelis looked at Ralph and said "How about some pork chops for supper?" They killed the hog and all the family was happy for the fresh meat. Grandma had to can and cook the meat right away as it was so hot. Hogs are normally slaughtered in cool weather. Maybe they were tired of fixing the pen all the time.
