re: #75 HappyWarrior

That’s wonderful. But yeah, apparently when my great grandparents died, the siblings all agreed to help take care of my great aunt. She lived a happy life. Wish I could have known her since my mom and her cousin(who I met today) both remembered as so kind and happy. Your grandfather sounds like he was a great man.

He was, and I wish I could have met him. His second marriage was a May-September thing, and my parents married at 38, so I was born almost a full century after grandpa wheat-dogg was born.

He never went to college, but he was a voracious reader and would hit up the used book stores in Manhattan on his way to and from work. Also painted watercolors and oils, and was pretty good with pencil sketches. Fortunately, we still have many of them, which I scanned for posterity years ago.
