Paul was a great big brother, especially for a 7 year younger farm kid. He loaned me his “bitchen” cool car for my HS Senior Prom. I think it was a 1966 Pontiac Catalina, light green with a black convertible top. He liked convertibles in his early years.
Happy Surprise 50th Birthday Dad!
Paul, Tammy and I would go to different tractor shows in the area and he would talk about different tractors that his family had used through the years. It was always interesting because he would talk about how things had changed through the years. From the old equipment from the past all the way up to the GPS used with the new equipment.
He and I went to the Auburn airport to see the Wings of Freedom display which was several different World War II aircraft. We actually got to take a flight on a B-25 which he enjoyed a lot. Not sure that he was a great fan of flying but he liked the history of it all.
Paul was a hard worker and farming was in his blood, but occasional we could break him away from his chores to go do something else. Even if only to go to Van Wert for coffee or over to the Whippy Dip for ice cream.
Christmas 1989 and 1990
My grandpa took me to the 3 rivers co-op several times over the years. But nothing measures up to the first time when he introduced me to tofu. They were serving a tofu scramble dish at the hotbar and I had never had anything like it. I think they only ever had it one other time. I've never been able to recreate it. That's part of why I'm so willing to try new food an recipes to this day.
