ONE SPRING DAY WHEN FLOYD WAS A SMALL CHILD HIS AUNT MYRTLE AND COUSIN POLLY WERE VISITING MILT & JUANITA AT THEIR HOMESTEAD NEAR BRANSON, COLO. JUANITA AND MYRTLE WERE DOING THE LAUNDRY BY THE SIDE OF THE HOUSE, THE CHILDREN WERE PLAYING AND THE MEN WERE PLOWING THE FIELDS. JUANITA WENT TO CHECK ON THE CHILDREN AND SHE FOUND FLOYD FLOATING IN A SMALL CREEK NEAR THE HOUSE WHERE HE HAD TRIED TO WALK THE PLANK ACROSS AND FELL IN. MYRTLE RAN TO THE FIELD NEAR BY AND GOT R.C. PHILLIPS WHILE JUANITA WORKED ON FLOYD. R. C. PUMPED ON THE SMALL BODY AND FINALLY GOT HIM TO START BREATHING AGAIN. IT WAS A VERY CLOSE CALL FOR FLOYD.
