Scope and Content

I remember him as a strict but just man, very entertaining. He made up lively stories for his grand children about the "knife man" who lived in the basement, the "river rat" who lurkrd around every where, and sundry other household brownies. He loved history and historical biography and had read Will Durant, every volumn, end to end. He believed in the efficacy of the military for every young man and he loved to hunt and bred and trained many fine English pointers. He was a man of his word.
