Pop has some letters to write!
Ashley!Thanks so much for your kind words to me! I loved your guess at my age, but guess what? I am one half a century younger than Pop and he will be 100 in one year! I am very close to my grandfather. I was his first mate on his lobster boat for a few summers and that his how I got to know him so well. He was always silent until the ride home and then he would open up and tell me all his stories. I bet you would love to hear him laugh because it will make you laugh too! All my best, Marlisa
