Lori’s Papa Cleo and Emil’s Dad & Grandpa
Mar 22nd 2007Lori & Emilsightings
Today, while having lunch at Wendy’s, we saw an older gentleman who reminded us both of our childhoods. Lori’s grandfather and Emil’s dad and grandfather were all carpenters.
The man was dressed in a long-sleeve denim shirt, an older style (now, we call them “trucker” style) ball cap, and blue/white striped overalls. He was a little smaller than Lori’s Papa Cleo, but was shaped the same. It was a definite throw back in both time and culture….to a time when even Bryan was a smallish-sized town.

Mike’s Grandpa Jack used to wear the exact same overalls! I can still that crusty ol’ man saying, “I wouldn’t go to a weddin’ if it was right across the street!”
Good times, good times.
