Just Swinging Around

Edwin remembers making a rope out of twine in Boys Scouts.  He used it to make a rope swing which hung in the yard.  He and his friends used it until the roped had stretched and the rope was getting thin.  His father Lamar said they could not use it until they had someone test it.  So they waited for his Uncle D. R. Perkins (David Richard Perkins) to come by.  They had him test it.  The swing held him so they got to use it until they got into trouble for swinging so far out into the road that they would frighten the bus driver.
