Sometimes the most sentimental recollections of life can be seen in the things we collect…. Since childhood I have had an affection for the Peanuts gang, in particular Charlie Brown and Snoopy. Perhaps I’m fond of them because we had three beagles when I was growing up. The second beagle was mostly my pet, and bad luck followed him. He was run over by a car my Mom was driving and survived. He had some type of accident that blinded him in one eye. But a child could never ask for a more loyal friend. He followed me everywhere. When I went to play at a friend’s house he would follow and sleep by the front door waiting for me. I guess you could say he was my Snoopy.
