My favorite memory of Uncle Earl

By Ed Penland

My favorite memory of Uncle Earl is sitting on the floor in front of him when he had candy. He always had those sandwich licorace candies, and always a big box. He'd give them to us one at a time so we had to stay still if we wanted more. I'm not real fond of licorace, but, I always remember that the ones he had were special. I occasionally see small boxes of them in the grocery store, and I buy them once in a while. Every time I see them, I remember Uncle Earl.
