By the Gads Preston, I thought you waved at me.

It could have bee during "Prohibition", but definitely between "The Civil War" and the "Conflict in Viet Nam" That the "Good old Boys" of Alpine would be at a dance, or some other uplifting activity, when someone, most likely "Preston" would signal to someone in the activity to step outside to share a wee drop of refreshment. When this would happen, some "sly old fox", who's name I don't remember, would slip out uninvited to get a sip also. So when he showed up. uninvited, he would say... "By the 'Gads' (word changed ) Preston, I thought you waved at me"
