Working with my dad to publish a book about his military high school. I thought I knew my father but reading how he was sent off to get ready to fight a war when he was 12, well I now know a little more about my childhood. Makes more sense how hard my father was on me.
In working with him we came across a lot of family pics. This is my favorite:
My grandfather, my mom's dad, in Germany on some dudes back.
He seemed to be happy in this pic. My other grandfather as best I can tell was a war hero. Only knew it when he died. He as both of my grandparents, never talked about their service. It was like this "black" zone. If you asked my grandfather in this pic what he did he would just say "I was paid to walk around Europe." Ask my other grandfather, a HUMP flight doc, he would walk out of the room.
Got some pics like this? I can't believe I am alone.
