we went to Pops' service and interment today. what a great man he was, and I am fortunate to have met him and spent some time with him. A brilliant man he was, served in WWII, and was later I believe a patent lawyer in the golden years of Eastman-Kodak up in Rochester, NY. Hill Riddle told us some stories about him over breakfast today. He fought in the Battle of Guadalcanal, and was decorated with many war medals. Hill said he threw them all away. I suppose it helped ease some of the painful memories. I don't know much about WWII, except the little I have read online and watched some documentaries on the History channel. Pops was vehemently opposed to the war in Iraq from day 1. Even though I wasn't against it then, I certainly am now. But I still support our troops, always have and always will.
