In the summer of 1968 Grandpa Hill (Donald) was playing with Mike Martin his cousin. They were along Hamlin Road in Rochester Michigan playing tricks on his brother Eugene. Donald and Mike decide to hide from Eugene after they had secretly dropped leaves and twigs from high up in the tree nearly hitting Eugene as he pedaled buy.
Those trees are gone now. The old fence line where Donald and Mike had hid is gone now. Hamlin Rd no longer cuts through farm land. Rather there are large houses and a nearby industrial park. What isn’t gone is the memory of the revenge of lots and lots of Bumble Bee’s.
Donald and Mike had hid from Eugene on top of the bumble bee nest!
Grandpa learned a lesson that day. He remembered it well. Until he didn’t! But that, is another story.
