He was only 5'8", but sometimes I swear he was 12 feet tall! He could fix any problem, and repair any machine!
He designed a lot of stuff that was patented, but he never got credit for any of it.
He was the best machinist I have ever seen, and I am considered pretty good at it myself. I miss him every day.
well sir you are a great legacy to him. how in the world did all the kids get all that height then?? if he was 5ft8?
We ate real well growing up; never had a lot of cash, but they fed us all well!
:Dthey fed you well and you grew like weeds!
I only had one sister of 3 that was shorter than my Dad; so weeds is pretty close to right.
oh man, I feel sorry for that one sister when ya'll get together, she'd feel like a midget or a dwarf!
in the land of giants!
She is a retired RN, so she is TOUGH!
:DShe was over for the fourth.I watched her chew up a doctor, and spit out the pieces! He was not treating my Mother properly! He had NO CHANCE, LOL!
I don't suppose that runs in the family!?
