Fred's house at 602 East Avenue H in Heavner, Oklahoma was destroyed in an explosion in 1996. Fred was setting in the Kitchen at the time. He was hurt only slightly. Children from the high school track ran across the road and helped to pull him out of the rubble. Fred found a harmonica in the ruins and entertained the firemen and news people. The story ran on at least one national news show.

Wrote a column in the Heavener Ledger called 'Available's Add' for many years.
