My Friend, Dick C.
I met my friend Dick C. who happened to be my father-in-law when he was in his middle 50’s. He passed away about a year ago now at 88 years old. In those 30 some years I knew him he and I became good friends. I learned a lot from him along the way. I’d like to share some of the things I learned.

When I was young and very foolish I got kicked out of High School and moved 100 miles from my home to live with my sister Astrid and her family. To be honest I was suspended from school for 3 days and it was decided that I should go to my sister’s home. This was my Junior year in High School and it was just the start of Basketball season.

I was very hateful and bitter. I loved Basketball more...

My Brother-in-law Don came into my life when I was fairly young. He was a big man and had a wonderful laugh. The first time I met him I liked him instantly. At the time he married my sister my folks were still on the farm and we had animals as well as farm land. We had pigs, cows, horses, chickens and maybe still some ducks.
