My dad
Michele, I heard your interview on Morning Edition this morning and it so wonder what my dad meant recently when he said he would take something he knew about my mother….to his grave. He passed away in July and I can’t possibly imagine what he “took to his grave” about her.
But, his story is pretty amazing. A definite depression era story about going from deep poverty to great success. My brothers and some other family members are going to have my father’s ashes interred at Arlington National Cemetery in October. It was his wish to be near his friends, including JFK, RFK, Mike Mansfield and Walter Marshall to name a few. Anyway, a book about his life is being published soon, by writer, Ron Matis. My father passed before it could be published, but it is a good read.
