Ingersoll Station

quot;You have really struck a responsive chord. The Mantz's were dear friends of my family and all of us kids looked forward to a cold drink (bottle of pop) and a candy bar at the station when we were on a fishing trip. My father, E.M. Barker, considered Raymond (not Leonard) to be a prime source of fishing information for his Sports Spasms column in the Alva Review Courier . He also went on many of our trips and was an accomplished fisherman. He had a splendid wry sense of humor and you always left him chuckling at some witticism that he uttered usually about the foibles of the local populace.    Nettie was a mother confessor and was always ready to lend a sympathetic ear to any problems we had at the time. Both of them were the best friends that a person could have." -- Bill Barker   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
