Yesterday I began the huge task of typing out my grandfather's journals. I was impressed by this initial entry and how the yearly anniversary of April 18th played an important role in my grandfather's life. Methinks this will be an emotional journey as I travel through all their lives.
"April 18, 1925, Karl Maloney, Nile Canaday, Arley Thompson and myself, Van Wolfe, made an agreement to meet 10 years from today (4/18/35) on the court house square at main and San Joaquin Streets, 4/18/35, 8:30 a.m. Stockton, California. My ambition is to possess a good paying business by then."
Wow, reading an old journal would be cool in any case, but for it to be your GRANDFATHER'S? I hope it is enjoyable for you.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is enjoyable, yet sometimes sad to see some of the choices he and his friends made over the years. But I am blessed to have these in my possession and to be able to trace my grandparents lives through them.
