July 4 with the Grand Marshall



My grandfather was chosen to be the Grand Marshall of the 4th of July Parade at Old Waverly golf club in West Point on Independence Day. He rode in his 1962 Thunderbird, driven by his daughter, and he asked Kurt and me to ride with him. It was a wonderful evening, and they couldn't have picked a better man to lead the parade!

The heavy door got shut on Kurt's knee.

Grandmom couldn't come to the parade because she's in the hospital recovering from a knee replacement. We went to see her afterwards and told her all about it!
