My dad came from south Georgia to work at the Naval Shipyard in Charleston, South Carolina during the war and started his own plumbing company there in 1945. He became a figure in local politics and worked in civil rights in the 1950s through the 70s. Thanks, Dad. You made it better for all of us.
This hits home. It’s too late for me to ask my father (and my mother) these things. I’ve told my son to ask me ANYTHING about my life. I just hope that he takes me up on it someday.
With a variation. Bushmiller’s Nancy NEVER tried to befriend any of Sluggo’s crushes. This is an interesting take.
