Just happened to be looking up Wayne on Google, to see what ya been up to and found out about Peon. It saddened me greatly, all my love go out to you all. I hope y'all remember me, I used to run around with Jimmy Miller and have many great memories. How about the night I first got to take my sister's Supper Bee out, and took a tab of acid and had a wreck with Wayne in the car? He already had a back brace on! If I remember correct he had hurt his back diving off a rock or something like that. That night we had gone to a party at someones lake house and were over by the mall when I tore up my sisters "Bee." Anyway, I moved away from B'ham in '87 when I got laid off from Hayes and moved away to work for Boeing. I got laid off from Lockheed Martin this year after working for them here in Greenville SC for the past 20 years. I hope every one is doing good! If Wayne Dale, Nadine or Karen happen to see this please email or call me! rfulmar@hotmail.com 864-848-3529 I love and miss y'all, Robert Fulmar Hey Perkins family, Hows mammer an em?

It was a story I had to tell, even though the New York Times will never know... I could not have done it without Bruce, since I didn't want to disturb your mom in advance of the funeral to do all the research for this myself. He was able to catch some time with her for the eulogy, which had to be done. Feel free to share other stories on this new fangled printing press whenever you feel like it, and feel free to tell others to share their stories about Milford here as well. It is my belief that the best stories should be archived here on the Web for the generations to come. Printing with ink and paper will soon be a thing of the past. I'm about to post a column telling part of that story here in just a few minutes. I hope you and yours will read it and learn from it too... No prob., brother.

I really appreciate your piece on daddy. I'm Sure everyone else does as well. However, I believe you could fill up a book with "one liners" from my dad that he was so famous for as well as lessons and skills he taught us without knowing how much it would help us later in life. By the time I was 15-years-old, he'd taught me all I needed to face the world or at least I believed he had! Dad taught me how to work on cars, grow a garden, fish, hunt -- and play guitar, which is the one I chose at the age of 6. At 14, I was making records in local studios with a band. I will never be able to thank him or my mom enough for the musical DNA, and mom for pushing me on to do whatever I wanted. I couldn't have ask for a better life with a happier family. Sincerely, Wayne Perkins Great job “Cowboy.” I really appreciate your piece on daddy. I’m Sure everyone else does as well.
