Aubrey grew up in a small rural Northern California farming community.  Except for a short period when he lived with an aunt during the 50's polio epidemic he lived in that community until he graduated high school.  This community was small enough where everyone knew everyone else and was filled with Aunt's and Uncle's more than willing to tell tales on him.  

So, for all of our years together I was the recipient of many tales about the kinds of things Aubrey did while growing up.  

To be fair I should state that he denied most of them.  

Depending on who was telling the story he was either scamp or angel...

the one consistent thing that ran through all the stories were the narrator's smiles.

I've been told that one picture is worth a thousand words.

So, except for that short introduction I'll let Aubrey's pictures tell his story for him.
