45



Time: late 1950 Place: Grandparents Farm near Malad.

One visit took me to the old barn in back of their house. Somewhere in that barn I came upon some 45 caliber bullets. As I recall the bottom half were more brass and the top was lead and was gray. I was able to bring a number of them home. They sat in my room for years. I am not sure if these were the exact same bullets that I might have given another cousin who lived near by. The memory is enhanced by the recollection of the bullets "going off" one day. Either me or my cousin were just bumping them together. Not a wise idea we found.
