SEE PAM RUN-WAWAY

What possessed this child to run-a-way to Smith Lake? Could life have been that bad? Smith Lake had a huge gravel pit. We, as older kids, Michele, Lynn and I would go there and slide down those pits. That was dangerous since at the bottom of the mountain of gravel was the lake--kerplop, splash.
There was Pam and Andy sitting at the bottom, (on the safe side of the pit), thinking about their life. Pam started getting a little concerned about the fact that the Easter Bunny would never find her here. This tells us that the time of year must have been very close to Easter. As it began to get dark, the two adventurers headed home to hide in a safer place; that being the basement of our next door neighbors, (the Demmicks). Mother, as a last resort, before calling the police decided to check the Demmick's house. Pam was not greeted with a scolding--she received hugs, a grilled cheese sandwich and a glass of milk. The Banner WELCOME HOME PAM might as well have been hanging over the front door!
