Really? well, for one thing, he managed to put up with my grandma (My other big influence; I'm a lot like her, I'm told) and he loved her loads. He was in the Navy for 34 years, and away a lot, but never unfaithful to her. He died a few weeks after she did. He was just very straight, full of integrity, and he taught me logic by making me play the 'backwards memory game', where I had to remember conversations backwards, as closely and accurately as possible. He was wonderful. I think Stuart is a lot like him, in personality. love and blessed be xxx
