Wow. Love this. It also inspired me to re-read your anti-majestic cosmic horseshit because it was your grandfather who walked by you at the canal. It makes a whole lot of sense.
Wow, your grandfather has been made real - and admired - to all of us who never knew him. You are an incredible writer, and I hope that some day you feel called to compile your memory-stories and insights on life into a book.
Thank you. I recognized you in your writing. You make me smile and even laugh out loud while enjoying your musings. Thank you. I look forward to your future writings.

You could say he eventually got around to my religious education after he passed away. ;)

Somehow I’ve got a block against putting all of this in a book but I’m very glad you liked it!

Thanks Maureen! I think I’m getting a better and better idea of what I want to do here as I go along.
This was a brilliant piece -- the best I have read from you and I have read them all. Many thanks.
Thanks Dr. K! I think I’m finally figuring out my lens for these pieces.
A great story about a worthy man.
Thanks Kerry.
What A Man!
He was.
This may be my favorite piece you’ve written.
Thanks Laura. Mine too.
Wow... Made me think of my own Grandfather. He taught me how to shoot pool among other things.
Somehow you need one generation of separation to really focus and learn
Wow. The best piece of writing I’ve seen all day - and Substack is full of really good writing.
Thanks Ken!
God bless you for having a grandfather like the one he had.
I got very blessed with him and my grandmother both. I would have nothing if it hadn’t been for them.
This is fantastic story telling. I was drawn right in and loved every minute of it. Thank you!
Thanks Tracy. Of course the second I pressed publish I could see every typo. I need to clean them all up now.
My grandfather served in Korea and then worked for bell/att his entire career. Crazy. He died last Christmas. Also I'm not crying, definitely not
Maybe they were best friends?
Absolutely beautiful writing and story.
Gosh I loved this story of your grandfather.
I found that beautiful. Testimony to a rare role mmodel. Lucky you.
