My dad continues to amaze.

[JPPaverage]

He is 86 years old, was a working class hero, served on city council in the small town I grew up in, played city league basketball, took me fishing, taught both my sister and I many many lessons which the "values" people have no concept of, and is now unable to walk and likely has beginning stages of dementia/alzheimers. But he said, and this is a direct quote, "That
trump is a no good bastard and his presidency won't work." Now he is a life long Democrat and he passed it all along to us, but lately, he has had many other things to deal with and hasn't seemed to care much about politics. He does now though. Again. So it looks like maybe trump at least brought back dad's fighting spirit.

1. My dad amazed me too...in the 50's his best friend was a black man

they were best of friends...Theodore is the name I remember...and I remember Theodore...my grandmother was the only white person at his funeral...and I know if Theodore thought he would be welcome at my father's funeral, he'd have been there!

He sounds like a man I would love to know.

3. Sounds like my kind of guy. Good on all the dads who spend time with their kids. My dad did the

best he could but he didn't have a dad and he didn't give his kids the face time. Good on your pop.
