I wrote this in 2013 soon after talking with my brother Tommy about it.
Tommy and I remember an incident in the early 50's when there was a flash that went through our house and Anna's house. There must have been a party going on, as there were a lot of people in our kitchen and in Anna's kitchen. I was at home and Tommy says he was at Anna's, when a flash came through a window in Anna's closet, which was off the kitchen. It then went through her kitchen and out the kitchen window, and then into our kitchen window and across the kitchen and down the long narrow closet off the kitchen, and out that window.
I remember that everyone came over to our house from Anna's to tell us what happened over there, and we said that the same thing happened here. I remember that they all decided that it was a flash of lightning.
As years have gone by, I have begun to wonder if this really happened or was it a dream or something, but Tommy confirms my recognition.
I remember that it passed within inches of us in our kitchen.
This picture of my brother David, which was NOT taken at that time, shows the closet off the kitchen. The second picture shows the kitchen window at Anna's house.
