The Leeds family occupied the center of the I’m Just A Kid Shirt , but they were not stereotyped, superstitious rural people. They were politically active religious pioneers, authors and publishers.

Buy It Now: I’m Just A Kid Shirt
My mother confirmed later, that when she worked for the state’s Pig ham Iowa chill shirt office, these properties were held for generations by families whose ownership couldn’t be easily determined due to inbreeding. I also met a man a couple of years later who worked for the department of public works.

He told me this before I even mentioned the camping trip incident. True or not, it creeped me out for certain! Either that, or worse, we could have run into the ‘Jersey Devil’! Never made another trip to that part of the state again…
