He never 36 at us for playing in his yard. I remember him as a kind and 37 person. When Dr. Gibbs didn't work, he planted trees. His house covered an area of ten acres, and his life's goal was to make it a 38 . He had some interesting 39 concerning planting. He belonged to the "No pains, no gains" 40 of plant growing. He never watered his new trees. Once I asked 41 . He said, "Watering plants will spoil them, and if you water them, each successive tree 42 will grow weaker and weaker. So you have to make things 43 for them and weed out the weak ones." So he never watered his trees. He would 44 a pine, and instead of 45 it every morning, he beat it with a rolled-up newspaper. I 46 him why he did so, and he said it was to get the tree's 47 . I planted a couple of trees a few 48 ago. I carried water to them for a solid summer, sprayed them and prayed over them.
