We traveled to Illinois to spend time with family, particularly my father and Grandmother, to attend the visitation and the funeral.
Grandpa was a man who wore many hats; musician, soldier, philanthropist, teacher, agronomist, businessman, husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather to name a few.
Grandpa taught school for a number of years. He taught in a one room schoolhouse. Above is a picture of him with his class, including one of his pupils who happened to be his little sister, Betty.
I am grateful for the many memories I have of him and am proud to be his granddaughter.
