Tullahoma, TN Thursday, July 18, 2013 Bob and I were first cousins, but like brothers. The scar under his nose, above his lip was caused by my careless swing of a golf club we found on the golf course near our grandparents home back in 1947 or 1948. Bob and I always talked about that scar; because we were told by our grandmother, Mama Shrader, to not go to that golf course. She gave both of us a spanking with a Ping-Pong paddle for disobeying her.pattie platt
