Of course, I didn't want to go... but Tim insisted that I follow him on this great adventure. Here we were, two three-year-olds walking north...going past the Old Folks Home, which at one time was the old Lutheran College Campus classrooms.  Tim and I thought that this must have been the largest structure ever built.  We had a grand time walking, looking at the trees and buildings, until we reached a cross-roads.  We just stood in the center of the road, but worst yet, we could not remember which direction we came from.  Finally Tim pointed and said, "I think we came from this way".  Off he went...he just left me to cry desperately for help in the intersection of these two streets.   What seemed like an eternity, was broken when I saw Mom walking briskly towards me.  I was the happiest little boy.  I remember asking Mom how she found me, and all she said was, "Tim told me."
