But what you said about his book learning kind of reminds me of my dad. I remember he told me that he went thru the sixth grade. That was as high as the grades went back then when he was going to school. He was born in 1896. Yep, he would be 112 years old if he was still living today. He kept learning, though, all his life-long by reading on his own. I guess that is where I got my love of reading at.<br /> <br /> Mother enjoyed reading too, but not like Dad did. I love your story about your dad.<br /> <br /> Damon/johnny yuma Hi Grant,

Mother enjoyed reading too, but not like Dad did. I love your story about your dad.
