Oh! sorry. The young man is your Grandson. To me my Grandpa was the best friend I ever had. We'd go fishing, skin rabbits, look for stone artifacts and go exploring the shoreline of the Mississippi river and visit chief Black Hawks cave and drink from the spring waters inside. I remember there was all these clam shells with holes drilled in the along the banks and he told me they where all that was left from a shell button factory that was once at the site. He was a veteran of the 1st would war and fought in France. He never owned a car or held a drivers license and survived the great depression, so we did do allot of walking. His life experience's and the wisdom he handed me are priceless to me to this day.Thanks tamrock..............He loves hangin with Grampa!!
