Uncle Garth stayed weekdays with us while we lived in the coulee. One evening when no adults were home, Fred and Alane entertained themselves by telling the younger children scary stories. They were trying to convince Janene and Carol Jean that the boogie man was coming to get them. They asked all to look at the door knob and watch for it to turn because that would signal the arrival of the boogie man. All watched intently for a few moments when sure enough, it turned. All the children, including Fred and Alane screamed as a surprised and confused Uncle Garth walked through the door.
