Violet’s Floyd

Chapter 4 Floyd’s dad, Orrah, related a story about the time he borrowed a bear trap from his dad in the late 1920’s; the value even then, according to what Orrah told Floyd, was estimated to be $500. He set the trap and it had a big ring on it; he bent the knots on the toggle down and slipped the ring over it.
