My Story #79

DO YOU WANT THAT?

In the beginning of our singing group, we were called the Lexington Baptist College Trio made up of Bob Jones, Robert Carpenter, Ronnie Wolfe (pianist), and Demas Brubacker.

We had some wonderful trips, going on some very long ones and returning home in the wee hours of the morning. Once we reached home just in time to go to our first college class at 7:00 AM. These trips were very tiring but were good experience for each one of us. We also met some pretty amazing people as we traveled.

On these trips, along the way, we would stop to eat. We enjoyed some wonderful meals and had some fun and weird experiences on our "lunch hour."

It was a custom that, as we were eating, Bro. Demas Brubacher would usually finish eating first; and, when he finished, he would sit there at the table and look at everyone else's plate to see if there might be a morsel left so he could help himself to it.

After watching for a few moments, Demas would take his fork, point it over an item of someone else's plate and say "Do you want that"? Sometimes he would say "Are you going to eat that"? We usually would acquiesce to his desire and give him whatever he wanted.

Just another day on another trip for our singing group. They were great!
