Happy Birthday, Grandpa Keim! He would be 101 years old.
I'm missing him today. And celebrating him.
This picture hangs above my computer.
I wonder what he would think of this blogging thing.

Doesn't he look like my dad?!!
And can you see him in River?
Lately I'm taken aback by how much Buzz resembles him.

He wrote a weekly column for several newspapers. He loved to read BOOKS, and didn't make himself read them front-to-back. He said he couldn't run fast, but that's alright because no one was chasing him. He loved conversation and story-telling. He exaggerated when he told stories, but never admitted to stretching them. He drank coffee every day.
Maybe, if I'm lucky, he and I are a little alike too.
Happy birthday, Grandpa!
