lecture

yesterday, i acted as "head assistant in charge of projectoring and relaying audience queries" during a lecture given by my grandfather.
it was educational.
i learned...
  1. the renovated main library is amazing. seriously amazing. i want to spend countless hours there and hopefully acheive that intensely coveted classification of "bookish".
  2. there are a lot of world war 2 buffs in salt lake. and they like to go to weekly lectures at the main library.
  3. my grandpa is cool.
  4. like, seriously cool.
  5. he piloted 72 missions throughout world war 2 and the korean war. (that's a lot).
  6. he may or may not have saved charles lindberg's life.
  7. i'm pretty sure my grandfather could kick your grandfather's trash. and i'm pretty sure he could do it in a bomber plane.
and afterwards i was filled with this weird effulgenty feeling, and people kept on coming up to me and shaking my hand and telling me my grandpa was awesome, and i was all, "duh. i know." and that's when i realized i was pround of my grandpa.

that's all.

That's awesome, Kat. And you know what else is awesome? That you know it is. Sadly a lot of people in the younger generations have no clue what the people in that generation accomplished. I'm guessing that your understanding of your grandfather's coolness is probably the one of the greatest recognitions he could ask for.

and another good thing about it is that even if this coolness skips a generataion, you're safe. not that i'm saying it skipped a generation. i mean, your dad gave me a really cool hat once...
