I lost my wife of 26 years in 1992 and have not remarried. I have two daughters, well educated, thanks to poor Pop. One's a journalist/lawyer, the other first, a former teacher and later a computer program instructor with the Hospital Corporation of America and the world's greatest Mom. Both daughters are married and are living in the Nashville, Tennessee region. I’d love to tell you about my 4 year old grand daughter.
