🤽…Linda Lu…..I was mature way beyond my “Baby Wemus Years”…..nearly got Baptized in that pool when I accidentally fell in “Before” I knew how to swim. Same thing happened at The Elks Lodge pool (which as most know was the old Midland Country Club). When it happened again, I said, “to hell with that”…I went and took swimming lessons at the Ulmer Park Pool, fell in love with my swimming instructor..and never looked back… (but I did swim underwater (eyes wide open in the chlorine laden pool 🤢), just to get a glimpse of her legs, etc. 🤣..I was coming into my own as a soon to be good ole West Texas Boy….Yee Haw!
Yep!!Wemo
