Sherry--The early years. Through some diligent research and considerable guessing (all of which is dead on accurate) I have managed to piece together our Sherry's early years. Sherry was born in Louisiana, her first home was in the Lazy Daisy trailer park. From the first she had to deal with prejudice, not only was the Lazy Daisy far more upscale than that enjoyed by the rest of the surrounding community, her parents were not close blood relatives. So Sherry lacked the kinship ties of her friends and the fine points of inbreeding so common to the area. Still all in all she was a cheery, happy child. Indeed most people in the area credit her with the invention of the game the locals call 'Bum Zinging'. This game is played in the area to this day and involves perching on a small hill near the railroad tracks with a slingshot and a bag of marbles. Any bums riding the rails get zinged. Sherry remains a local legend for her accuracy. [This is likely very true, third world taxi drivers report the same skills from her, though they were applied to street urchins instead of bums.] Sadly this idyllic existence was to come to an end when a tornado recognizing its natural prey, a trailer park, leveled the Lazy Daisy. Her folks moved to a more rural area, Black Water Hollow. Sherry was showing signs of her natural beauty and even more important to her and her friends she had an acute sense of smell. Everyone interviewed said she could smell out a still from 10 miles away and even more important could whiff out and raid its output. Her popularity was assured. Though she remains a disappointment to many locals as she never settled down and married herself a fine swamp buck she is still fondly remembered by many. Druss
