“I’d be curious to know what schools are teaching as history nowadays, but I have to watch my blood pressure.”
I’m curious too - but I have to watch the football game.
Seems to be the attitude of lots of parents today. I forgot to mention last night about Pearl Harbor - I’ll make sure to talk about it tonight.
In helping the kids with their homework I always add in stuff about History. The youngest are learing about the Constitution. It takes a lot longer to help them with that, as my rants get pretty long nowadays! (Not with what they are learning, but how the Constitution is pretty much ignored in Washington. Has been for a long time now.)

What sparked my childhood interest in history was my grandparents - they were living history. I realized from them that “my” present had not always been this way - no radio, no TV, etc. when they were young. I wanted to know more about that vanished world; and the rest, as they say, is history.
