I NEVER GOT TO MEET MY GRANDFATHER HE WAS TAKEN 15 YEARS BEFORE MY BIRTH. TO THIS DAY I WONDER WHAT KIND OF INFLUENCE HE WOULD HAVE HAD ON MY LIFE. WOULD I HAVE GONE INTO LAW ENFORCEMENT? I PICTURE HIM AS A TALL HEAVEY SET MAN AS I AM. HARD BUT KIND AND FORGIVING. I HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS. QUESTIONS I SHOULD HAVE ASKED MY MOTHER BUT EACH TIME I BROUGHT UP THE SUBJECT OF MY GRANDFATHER IT UPSET HER AND SHE WOULD CRY. SO WE NEVER REALLY TALKED ABOUT HIM. WITH REGARDS TO MY GRANDMOTHER WHO I SAW A FEW TIMES WHEN SHE WAS IN A SANITARIUM WAS UNABLE TO HAVE ANY CONVERSATIONS WITH HER BECAUSE OF MY GRANDFATHERS PASSING. I WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO CONTACT ME IF THEY KNEW MY GRANDPARENTS. TELL ME HOW THEY MET, WHAT THEY WERE LIKE. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU CAN ANSWER SOME OF THESE ISSUES FOR ME. THANKS, JIM ALEXANDER
