Hi All, I found these stories to be quite interesting, as I have heard my Aunts and Uncles, (Crowder&Womack) speak of Gypsies, camping on their farms, but have never heard of these peddlers,Funny thing the worst the gypsies ever did was cause them to miss a chicken or two! Keep those stories coming. My wife myself, and 3 kids are moving to Bethpage the 1st of October, and getting out of this cesspool of the South, (South Florida) ! Hope you all know that sometimes life IS greener on the other side of the fence. Patterson Crowder
