Three of My Grandsons
« on: January 23, 2013, 10:10:01 PM »



The one on the left in the green shirt is Matthew who is at Fort Jackson, SC, for Army basic training. The One on the right with the pink tie is Reagan, a senior in high school, who will leave for Marine Boot Camp in June.

Evan, the middle boy, was always small, very bashful, and kind of timid. He is a Sophomore in High School, playing a little basketball and running cross country, and blossoming into a fine young man. I know he will really miss the two oldest after June. He will survive.

Proud of those boys.
Our Bill of Rights constitutes a cluster of little foxholes of liberty ground into the hard cold face of history by helpless men for a shield against the lash of tyrants. They are the result of distrust of power and distrust of men in power. They are a recognition of Lord Acton's statement of a truth eternal--"power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely."

You certainly have reason to be proud of them.  Nice to see young men who are doing well.

They all look like handsome fine boys there, but that Evan is hot.  If the girls aren't already chasing him around, they will be soon.  :)

They are all very nice looking young men.  And they are all on the right path for the rest of their lives. You and their parents did a good job raising them...Congrats Shooterman.

What a nice looking family. You should be very proud of your grandsons. My grandson is only 4, and he's already the apple of my eye. His 2 year old little sister is darling, too. Those grandkids have a way of stealing our hearts.
