More About Aunt Pearl

A few posts back I wrote about my Aunt Pearl.  Aunt Pearl and my Uncle Gola are in the picture above. Thinking back on this post reminded me of another event that occurred while they were on their way to visit us in Paris, Texas. They lived in Little Rock at that time.

They were driving at night along somewhere in Arkansas between Paris and Little Rock. They came to a point where there was some kind of an awful smell in the area. They could not identify the smell but they said it was really a strong odor and they were feeling nauseous.  They were afraid they were going to pass out.  They hurried along and finally got far enough out from that area that the smell dissipated.  To this day we do not know what the smell was.  They never heard anything about it so they never knew what it was. Certainly there was an answer to the question but we just
never found it out!






I can remember how mysterious it all sounded to me, as a kid.  Even though I was just a kid I still remember how frightening it  was. It was probably just one of those things that happen some times.  Things just happen that are never explained or known about. Anyway, it was very impressive to me and I would still like to know the answer to the whole thing! Of course, I never will.
