<p><em style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1); background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0)>Synopsis:</em><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1); background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0)> On Palm Sunday 2012 I realized I was already 65 years older than our first two grands in diapers. We might not have many years for heavy adult conversations on family history fun times travel etc. So I resolved to email two stories every Monday to our sons and their wives as Granddad's Mondays. Every December I would take about 120 stories to a local printer to bind them into Christmas books for each grand their parents and ourselves. Now we have four grands and 1516 stories in 12 years. All that will survive me. I retired in 2006 and am having an absolute ball writing in my senior years to proudly create a heritage for generations to come.</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1); background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0)>Author of eight family history books.
