My Grandpa Adams

It's always intersting to find out new things about your grandparents. My Grandpa Adams died when I was 5 years old and I barely remember anything about him. Anyway, my folks were clearing out some stuff and I inherited some old papers in which this card was found.

Whew - at least he was a Republican. I was two years old in 1956 and, as he was born in June of 1896, he was just shy of 60 years old. I always pictured him as a farmer. It's fascinating to see the other faces of your ancestors.

I said I never knew him, but as you get older you find out you become more like your folks (scary, huh?). Anyway, I know my own father, so I may know more of him than I ever thought.
