What a nice positive story. A breath of fresh air on TOTV. Your evening with this wonderful friend reminded me of the times I sat down with my grandfather to get bits of family history and wisdom.
He was a coal miner who lived through the depression with personal stories of the bloody days of prohibition and gang wars over territory control. The coal miner's struggle for decent wages and working conditions and the organizing of The UMWA. Interesting times he lived and worked! I wish now that I had recorded some of those conversations but I do have the memories. Gracie, cherish those moments.
