When we were kids, and I think our Dad had recently passed away, my brother David started taking electronics from a local store. Admittedly he did get some cool stuff. I remember mostly a pair of walkie-talkies. What bothered me at the time is he might get caught and go to jail. I know it wouldn’t make our Mom happy, our recently deceased Dad happy and it sure wouldn’t bring either of us any joy. What was I to do? I wrestled with this for a while and finally decided to let our Mom know. She would make the right move! She let the manager at the store know what had happen, returning their property. I don’t think the police were involved but David did go away to a school called Patton. I joined him the following year. With Dane away at college, Ursinus, that just left Dara for my mom to worry about. I think that made things easier for her. I’m sure I damaged my relationship with David but I hope it repaired itself in later years.
