Everyone in the family always talks about this picture..


... and for good reason.
Isn't that just classic?! Grandpa was a navel aviator in the South Pacific during WWII. He lied to the officers, saying he went to college because only college-educated men could fly. He told them he went to Covode Academy, which he did. Covode Academy is a one-room school house!
Yeah George!
Also, while in the South Pacific, George took a monkey as his pet. He would fly with the monkey, and it would go nuts during spins and dives. He unfortunately had to leave the monkey in the SP, but he always had a special place in his heart for monkies the rest of his life.
Family is about the most interesting thing in the world to me.
