This man is sounding more fascinating all the time! I, too, have "rounders" in my family (Don't we all?!!) and I often think about something I read one time to the effect we love and revere our ministers, college professors, etc., but often it's these rogues/rounders/blacksheep that some families try to hide that infuse our family lines with daring and courage and generations later, we remember them: they're bigger than life. I think these stories should be kept alive. I also read that a person doesn't die until the last person speaks his or her name. He was born almost 200 years ago, his name is still being spoken, we're fascinated by him...and he still lives! And I think that's part of immortality. It's Christmas Eve and I hear the quiet descending. Have a wonderful Holiday Season everyone!
