Just curious...Where did you meet him? He was my mother's best friends grandfather. I met him several times but I was under 10 years old at the time and the significance was lost on me. It wasn't until I saw Field of Dreams and heard him mentioned that I realized what a stupid kid I was. By then I was 20 years old. My mother died in 2000 so I'm no longer in touch with the family.
