RE: 1902 and beyond

It really sounds like a good deal of him lives on in you. There is no doubt he as proud and would still be proud of what you have been through and accomplished. He sounds like a great man and would be someone I would love to have know myself.

Sort:  

He was a legit dude really, some of the stories man, so hilarious, but there were many difficulties as you might imagine through two world wars, the Depression and other general life issues. They were a different breed of people I think, more resilient which is something I have learned from him among many other things.

Yeah, the one grandparent that was still alive when I was born passed when I was 4. He was my paternal grandfather who was born in 1904. All I know of him is from stories from my Aunt and from genealogy research. They were a tough people back then.

The different life/world meant they had to be tougher...I think people should take some lessons from the past as things will get tough again.

I think they will too. Not sure when, but it’ll happen eventually with the way things are going.
