How to Make a Doorstep By KEITH ELLIOTT
Elliott writes a humorous reminiscence about an Oltimers Baseball Game at Heldick Field in Kenedy to raise funds for cemeteries. A chaotic construction tale unfolds with a door step, a hurricane of shingles, a flood damaged creek, a chain saw mishap, and a romantic fantasy interlude featuring Ann Margret and Peggy Fleming as the narrator balances work and home life.
