Phil's History – Symerton Illinois, last few stories.


I think I have one more story that I can share from the older house. Some of the stories would be a little offensive since John was a little crazy so I won't share all those. This story was from Easter of that year. We were brought up Catholic and so Easter was always a big deal in uncle Pat's house. That year they decided to get a poodle puppy as an Easter gift for all the kids. My uncle Pat said the kids could name it and they named it Foo Foo because it was so fluffy and white. This puppy was pretty high strong and we got it the day before Easter. Easter morning while everyone's getting ready for church Keith (was blamed) for letting the dog out. It took off with a number of my cousins trying to catch it. It had rained steady for quite a few days and it was mud everywhere. Eventually someone caught the dog and brought it back. It was so muddy it, it had rolled in the mud, and looked like a chocolate poodle. Of course the dog on it was great fun to run and be chased. I don't remember if we made it to church that they are not but I do remember the poodle. The people who caught it were also muddy so I'm thinking we didn't go to church.

Somewhere between Easter and May we moved to the new house on the acreage. It must've been around Memorial Day because I don't remember going to school after we moved. Memorial Day will be significant in a later series and I will call Phil's history – the crazy years. Right now I will just discuss living with my uncle Pat and what we did on the acreage for fun. Somehow it wasn't fun unless somebody got hurt. Not sure why that is.

I will post more on that later.

Would probably be untruthful for me not to post something of the next story. Next to the two-story house there was a local bar and it had living apartment above it. We used to find also to where things in their front yard on Saturday mornings. It was kind of a while place it we were told to stay away from it. One year a magician named Mike came to the little town we lived it. There was a sort of a community center where he put on a magic act. My cousin Mary was hishis assistant. We thought he had a thing for Mary but it turned out much different. While he was there he stayed in the apartment above the bar. I'm not sure when but he invited myself, John and Bob to come up and watch a football game. John and I went but Bob chose not to. It turns out this guy was a pedophile. He showed us a deck of cards that had naked women on them. This was the first time I had ever seen this type of thing. His goal was to arouse us with the cards and then molest us with his hand. I started out first sitting in his lap and became very uncomfortable quickly. I said I had to go and he let me up with no fuss. I told John let's go but he said no I want to stay because he really liked the cards that Mike had. John and I never spoke of what happened after I left but I can only assume the worst. This guy was a total creep. He would be in his 60s or 70s now. He was a pedophile but not a violent pedophile. Pretty disgusting person. I always felt bad for John but he had his chance to leave and chose not to.

Of course back then this type of thing was never thought of because people only thought of pedophiles attacking girls. Male pedophilia was not thought to be a thing and John and I never spoke of this ever again. Personally I always wished I would cross paths with him again so I could beat his head in. Never happened and it never could find them on the Internet. Not sure what I would do now if I did cause pass with them since I am disabled.
I will post more on things that happened at my uncle Pat's acreage. Those stories will be more funny than this one was.
