Editor's Note: Why was Alice calling Allen a fool? Diana thinks Allen probably wasn't being safe about where they were cutting the wood which made me wonder if Allen knew how to swim? I would think the water would be rushing and very high this time of year in the Big Creek. I assume the Big Creek could only be the Conewango.
*There's no accounting for personal taste.
