This involved numerous jabs into the knee with a long needle while kneading it like bread dough. <em>All with no deadening.</em> It most definitely got my attention so here come some of the characters in my life.</p> <p>I&rsquo;ve already mentioned my Uncle Gale or Gingo. Most wisdom imparted to us from him came on Sunday nights when we took a bath at his place(we just had a shower)or outside working or hunting. He might teach us a song he learned at the tavern that we would repeat but not always understand or give us a sip of beer if he was feeling brave. He either had a death wish or enjoyed my Mom running over and hollering &ldquo;Gale!&rdquo;.</p>
