REALLY SO WHAT
What A Time
MY FAMILY
After Uncle Jenkin died I inherited his brass spy scope. It was
two feet long wrapped in black leather. I also have his brass
sextant. Even though I sailed a lot in later years I never
became accomplished using it. Mostly I stayed with ‘line of
sight’ near land. Both are prominent on my office book case.
Among all the things Joe did and enjoyed there was one
outstanding trait. He was a born teacher. He had the greatest
patience, an intuitive understanding and the ability to
communicate the right things and attitude that encouraged
everyone. He shared everything with me.
In the years that followed I’d try my hand at many of these
hobbies and activities
