I would love to meet my grandfather on my dads side. He died of cancer when I was three. i hear that he was a very special man and I would love to talk with him. He was drafted into the navy as a WW2 doctor, graduated from Harvard and Brown (MD and DMD), he pioneered the use of 125I (radioactive iodine), and loved to engineer things with his hands.
 
About the same here. My real grandpa died when I was 3 as well. Never got to meet him. wonderful woodworker. It was his father or grandpa that was in the civil war. Funny part was, he was on the confederate side with his father in 49th Virginia battalion cavalry as a private. You just never know what you're going to find when searching them out! But hand-carved details on furniture shows his level of patience to me. That I would've loved to see.:mug:
 
I'd meet my father who died when I was 2 and I was left with not even a photograph of him. The only thing I have is the flag from his coffin.
 
Yeah, like Jim Croce's photographs & memories. I've got some of those myself. Not having anything of your father sucks though. With me, it's not having anything of his father, the woodworker & other old timers.
 
I used to like havin a beer or two with pop after work or dinner. He'd tell war stories. One time he told stories of the bombs & the USS Indianapolis. He & other Seabees did the work of building the runways & unloading the ships. He helped unload the bombs to put in the B29's. So, anyway, he told me this story before Quint did in Jaws. This is my favorite scene I dedicate to pop & the other Seabees, 111th special battalion... I'd love to have some of my beer with them.
