Front Porch
My Ozark Mountain Valley Home-September 1950
by Stan Hitchcock
 I remember the taste of an ice cold Grapette, lifted out of the old soda box full of big hunks of ice broken up, at the old country store up the
road and on top of the hill a mile from our farm. The old soda box sit on the creek gravel concrete slab front porch of the old store and the store owner would chip up a 50 pound block of ice every morning to keep the pop cold for when
we boys came out of the hay fields at the end of another hot September day. We spent August and September shocking oats, baling and hauling in alfalfa hay or cutting corn for silage and putting it into the upright silos. Lots of folks
don't know what it is to shock oats, since farm machinery has moved on like every thing else in life and the old ways pretty well forgotten.

Church of Dreams
by Denise Hitchcock
Stan and I were in Wisconsin over the Labor Day holidays to spend time with my mother and to attend my 40th Prairie du Chien High School class reunion. The reunion was great fun but I noticed that muscle rub was needed the next day
instead of Alka Seltzer! I have gotten wiser but it takes more effort.
While at home we spent some part of each day taking "blue highways" drives with my mother. One day we visited the Wisconsin town of Gays Mills, known for its apple orchards and apple pies.

Rex Nelon
by Bob Bilyeu
 I have often been asked who my favorite singer or group was in Southern Gospel music. I have many favorites, so that is a hard question, but if I were
asked who was the nicest person I knew, that answer was easy. He was Rex Nelon.
I first met Rex in the late fifties. He had just recently joined the legendary LeFevres as their bass singer. He was just a little older than I, but he was a young man in his mid to late twenties. I was a little jealous because the
young ladies went wild over his wavy black hair and deep bass voice. While some gospel singers were stand-offish, he was just the opposite. Those of us who were just opening acts found that very endearing.
