Happy Birthday Grandpa!

My grandfather turned 84 today! Time with him is precious because he has alzheimer's. He no longer remembers me but he can be reminded. I call him grandpa a lot when I speak with him to help with the confusion.

In the photo you can see my dad taking a picture of his dad. My grandfather was a great man, intelligent and ambitious. He was born a poor first generation American in Moose Lake Minnesota and rose through the Air Force before retiring and entering the private sector. While my grandparents don't discuss money I know they have risen a long way in their lives. It's sad that a lot of stories will pass with my grandfather, he retrieved bodies from Jonesboro after the mass suicide and piloted Friendship 7 around the world meeting Franco and Nassar along with many other interesting things.
