What a great read... My stick became an oar as I paddled my way through an imaginary river on top of an old rusty car frame in the woods behind my house. It also became my first fishing pole in that same river. It later had a real purpose as a "litter stick" at my first job where I pounded a nail in the end of it and then asked my dad to ground the nail down to a pointed end so I didn't have to touch the garbage I had to pick up in the county park every so often.

If I thought my children would understand, I would this year grace them with the greatest of Christmas gifts: a common stick in a humble box. Sadly, they wouldn't understand. L.

I live in Vermont and assume you live in Michigan near your corporate headquarters. But hearing your childhood reflections of your stick, cardboard box,and Davy Crockett,brought back many memories as I felt you were describing my friends and our neighborhood. I forgot how simple life was in those days. I appreciate you reminding us. Merry Christmas.
