Vake Gives Brook a Scare

The summers before he finished college, Brook worked for the U.S.D.A. forest service out of Mapleton, OR, like his father, cousin Jon, and Uncle Mark had done before. He stayed with his grandparents, Milly and Vake. Vake was 77 years old at the time. Being a worrier, Brook was concerned for his health and well-being. One evening after he had gone to bed, Brook heard Vake yell, "Brook! Brook!" Brook went sailing out of bed and ran downstairs to see what was wrong. Nothing. He didn't use a remote. Vake said "Brook, turn the TV to channel 13."
