"Well, we did it. We went down
Franklin Mountain on the Shel-
ton Laurel side. I don't know
why Peggy made me go 80 slow.
I could have taken one long
breath, shut my eyes, and been at
the bottom in less time than I am
taking to write about it. Now I

"Have you ever heard a saying
that goes like this 'Practice
what you preach'?"
"Yes, why?"
"Well, let's take time out right
now, and look. over some of the
