paul, it will be interesting if children think the same way about us as we do "that generation"...

my grandfather had his flaws, but he too served in WWII in the pacific rim...he also had many stories and gave his opinions and reasons why...sang in his church choir and every birthday sent you a card with a hand-drawn charlie brown character and punch line...he loved woodstock the best...but perhaps that was the character that was easiest to draw for him?

he died at 87 a couple of years ago...his wife, at 88, followed the next year...they were good people, kind and strong...i miss them both still...mostly i am happy to have known them and for the time i got to spend with them...

take care...
