I keep this picture of my great-grandpa on my office desk and it reminds me to think of him every day. He’s taught me a lot about what it means to be a father, a husband, and a person of faith. He served during WWII in France and Germany.
His brother was in the navy and was stationed at Pearl Harbor when it was bombed on December 7th, 1941. He was injured and earned a purple heart. I had the chance during graduate school to sit down with both of them and record their stories and their memories about that time of their lives. One of the best things I could have done.
