Objects flew at us in the dark. Cupboards, pans and dishes were all over, grinding and smashing violently. A forty-gallon water tank and a large iron stove hit the floor simultaneously. The logs of the cabin squealed and groaned. Terror gripped my heart and panic seized me. Though I knew that my wife was beside me in bed, I had no idea what was happening to the children. “My babies! My babies!” came Gloria’s cry. -Dean Roberts-It was the summer of 1959 when the Roberts family decided to take their first vacation in five years.
