A great man indeed, Gran.
That he was Gran .. The Best of The Best
We're having a really lazy day here. Carly slept till 11:30 and would have slept more if I hadn't woke her up .. she has a cold and is coughing a lot, seems she still not over being sick, but at least she doesn't have a fever any more.
It was a long day yesterday at the party ... but I was a really good girl and stayed as far away as possible from my one brother
My sister brought up all my dad's letters from the war for me to scan onto a CD. I've been reading them all last night and this morning and I still have a bunch more to read
But I'm still a bit confused .. My mom always said dad had enlisted .. but then my one sister said mom was wrong and said he was drafted. But reading these letters, it sounds like he did indeed enlist.
Oh well .. not sure what my sister was talking about.
I also found out something else .. My dad wanted to be a lawyer when the war ended and had taken some correspondence courses during the war
It's a long story, but from what I was told us, dad's mother didn't want him to go to college because he was needed at home to work and bring money home. His father died shorterly after being gassed while is was in the army in WWI
Here is one of his letters
