I'm sure she would have been one of my favorite people in the world had she been around long enough to be in my life. Her husband, my grandpa, was apparently awesome as well, and has been described as the most laid-back air force officer in history. He retired and went to work flying for private airlines.AlexisARhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09797016673203467911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6485729541580426717.post-26684933935006324462017-08-09T12:11:04.963-07:002017-08-09T12:11:04.963-07:00Laugh In and the Smothers Brothers were staples of...Laugh In and the Smothers Brothers were staples of my teen years. I turned 16 during the Summer of Love and was just a bit too young to be able to go to 'Frisco and participate in the festivities. We were tired of war and racism and tried to be the opposite of what "they" were. The music was idealistically wonderful and I still probably know the words to all those songs. I would like your grandmother and your mother, too, and am glad they share these stories with you.
