While visiting with my classmate, Donna IngrahamWernberg, this past week, she passed along a story told by her dad, Gilbert Ingraham, who attended school at Laurel, Iowa with my dad and his brother Tommy Laverty. The story involved Tommy as recalled by Gilbert.
She wasn't sure what grade they were in back in the 1920's, but, it was a funny story. The teacher had put a worm in a jar of alcohol and the worm, of course, died. The teacher asked the class what the lesson was to be learned. My uncle Tommy raised his hand and responded by saying: "If you drink enough alcohol, you will never have worms!" My uncle Tommy did possess a great sense of humor.
