It would also make the paper if they got a letter from him. This is the town where our family's lake home is- it was theirs- and it's a small, small town. So that was big, big news. I still can't believe they never told me.Kireliolshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16594522140183376060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5211543031504081746.post-37798480431540513812008-01-01T14:02:00.000-08:002008-01-01T14:02:00.000-08:00How COULD they not tell??

The fact that not only had my Grandpa coached him and remained in contact but had gone to his house for a visit in the early 70's was never shared- I found it out while doing research at the historical museum after college. When I asked my Grandparents they said, "oh yeah- but you know, Dickie really had the voice" and then they went on about how Andy went bad when he fell for Claudine and I sat there open mouthed, totally indignant that they never told me.Kireliolshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16594522140183376060noreply@blogger.com
