He wanted to be a farmer too, but when he ended up an indentured servant to one for a year, he got it (mostly) out of his system. But he also wanted to be a hobo, and that never happened, as far as I know.James Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758284812381345843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21109207.post-80149962941772789962010-07-03T01:08:22.552-04:002010-07-03T01:08:22.552-04:00But Grandpa did run off to sea... he joined the US...But Grandpa did run off to sea... he joined the US Navy and went off to Gitmo, but they sent him home on account of his short leg.

I found a drawing of one tonight, that he drew for Steven when Steven was little.<br /><br />Aunt Mary called me tonight. She said that Uncle Chuck isn't feeling well, and she's taking him to the Dr tomorrow. He felt better last week, but now he can't breathe as well. :(Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08494061549313899425noreply@blogger.com
