My gpa from my Mother's side was a farmer in western Iowa, Shelby IA. He was known as "Doc"

The 7th son was to be a Doctor. He was the 7th son of a 13 litter.

The swirling skies in June opened into swelter. Doc Best hollered from the barn to Emma, BRING ME MY HAT !!

He waited.

And waited.

Emma  finally shows up pulling an old horse which she had to chase down and bridle. 

Doc shouted, I SAID BRING ME HAT-NOT OLD PAT !!
