- 7057: Personal Writing: My Grandfather
- ... that they were road maps, with red roads and blue roads popping up everywhere. I would sit in is lap and try to straighten out his fingers. He never became angry, he only sat with great patience and smiled. I am always told, by relatives, that those hands used to be able to do anything. Such as hold a rifle so steadily that he never missed a target. I have also read newspaper articles, about the hands that were so great they led the baseball team in an undefeated season.

- ... choosing a bunch of cities from a Rand McNally atlas that are less than a day's drive apart, arranging for a rental car and finding the motels and attractions as I went along. Many great memories, impressions, experiences and photos remain from those days. Though traveling off the tourist path I often stayed on the interstates between medium-sized cities. I have been on I-40 between Oklahoma and California ... as just enjoying the open road and scenery (I always get a kick out of trains across these wide and endless plains).
