To this day I don't know who my father is. I was told once when I was about 18. My feeling is, the male roll models in my life were my grandfather and my Uncle Bob. That was enough. My mom got married in the mid 80's to the man I now call dad. He is very much like my Uncle Bob, only older and less athletic. In a purely Freudian sense, my mom actually married her brother and I got my uncle to live with all over again.In the summertime, I like to sleep naked. My grandmother drank Schmidt's Bock Beer in the spring and early summer. She would buy 5-6 cases and it would last her though the 4th of July and by then bock wasn't made so she would switch to a lighter beer for the rest of the year until about Easter when Schmidt would start brewing it again. One of my fondest memories is of my grandmother and I sitting on our front porch, she with her Bock and me with my lemonade watching the gray clouds of a thunderhead come toward our house. Those rolling storms always amazed me.I had 2 horses growing up. One was a Morgan named Joker and the other was a Palomino named Fortune. Joker was given to us by the Greenall family who used to live in Fogelsville. The Greenall's had a carriage museum and John and his dad made new carriages by hand. One of the cooler things I remember about going to the Greenall farm was this one carriage that had the sole distinction of being the only U.S. carriage driven in the Coronation Parade for Queen Elizabeth in 1953. "John and his wife Sue are still active in the carriage business but they have since moved from Pennsylvania to Vermont.":http://www.vermontel.com/
