Oh crap...that made me cry.
As I said...I don’t know why my mom’s dad is on my mind.

and you know...eventually...when I got old enough...Grandpa made me clean my own fish!
I had to put them on the board...nail through the eyes...and scale them and then flip them over and scale them...and then cut them down the middle and gut them.....

anyway...later in life my Grandfather got sad....
He did BUCK UP at mom and dad’s house while I was there....and they celebrated their 60’th...
