7 Jan 2012 This story goes back to the time before the addition was put on the back of the Sylvan Road house, so it would be about 1964 or so. Daddy opened up the window mounted air conditioner that was in the window of the dining room - the south side of the house. I don't know what he was trying to do, but he hadn't unhooked the power from it, and it gave him a hell of a belt of electricity. It welded/fused two of the links of his watch band together, and gave him quite a burn there on his wrist. He left the watch like that and used it to illustrate the story when he told it in later years, how the watch had probably saved his life! |
