They are not the only ones...my father-in-law was also an excellent story spinner. He also had a life that was part Dickens, part Horatio Alger. I got him to talk when I was filling a family history book for my then-baby daughter...and he went wild. Apparently his own kids had never asked him about his life. I was so happy to be able to record so many of his stories before he died. Transcendent, transfixed?? Thank you all again...it was the post I have most enjoyed writing.<br />mary ann rodmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13639787144894232298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934041490878801751.post-28900342027164984322015-06-02T20:48:59.712-05:002015-06-02T20:48:59.712-05:00This is transcendent Mary Ann.
