This is a true story about one of my favorite people ... he came and went quickly through my life. I was a young man, and he was old. A couple of weeks together on his first and only trip the the States. He'd come with his daughter and her family for a vacation - but he prefered to go to work with me, digging trenches, laying pipe, paving roadways. We shared lots of tales - and I came away with a set of stories and a new look at life.
