re: 20 years ago today...The Shot Heard Round the Bayou

15 years old, the immediate family along with aunt, uncle, and cousin went to Percy Quinn State Park for a weekend camping trip in tents. We rigged a television up to a tree with old rabbit ears antenna high up in the tree, while we watched in lawn chairs. Miami fans in the lot across the street had a sweet RV and we could hear them cheering from inside their cozy satellite air conditioned safe space. When Morris hit the HR our area exploded with noise and the RV went silent.

Today our family buried my aunt that was with us on that trip as she passed away this past weekend.
