Memorial




Grandpa Steve asked the kids to come over for family dinner and take a few minutes to have a memorial for his dad Lester Watkins who passed away last month. He read a travelogue from many years ago when his parents came to visit the grandkids. James said he was probably about 13 and Great Grandpa Les described each child. James had a Texas drawl that strung out the word straaawberries. James was also was into rockets, astronauts, space. Great Grandpa was on a boat in World War II. There is a plaque with many medals he earned.
