happy birthday grandpaw
perhaps this is of limited interest, but my grandpaw m woulda been 99 today. at least this is an opportunity to show this mackin' pic of him taken by a street photographer on the streets of st. louis.so now you know where i get alot of my jaunty factor from. lulz.
grandpaw (he preferred "paw" to "pa") was an exemplary husband, father, grandfather, provider for his family, and all around renaissance guy. i think he didn't get past highschool since he had to WORK, but he was one of the most cultured and intelligent people i have ever met.
plus, he was a linotype operator. when i get tired of plinking the keyboard, i often reflect that at least my CPU does not have a molten container of lead attached to it.
so, if there is internets in teh heav0n, happy birthday grandpaW!

Well said, grandson.
Ha. That is a totally mackin' pic. What I like about ye olde tymes is that when they wore what we consider our best clothes, they wore them to, like, get a haircut or go to a baseball game. Every day was worthy of your Sunday best back then.
Nice tribute & photo. My grandfather would have been 100 this year.
