This is for Ethan from Grampa Fossum

My Grampa Fossum was born in 1862, and my Grampa Spickler was born in 1866. That was a long time ago. As it was I never knew either of them as they were both gone before I was born. I missed not knowing them and the times I could have spent with them.



I do have pictures of them both and I have heard the stories of their lives, but that just wasn't enough for me. I never got to sit on their knees to hear a bedtime story or a lullaby.



Now that I'm a grampa myself I want to make sure that you know me well. I have a lot of stories in my head that I hope will help you know me better. Although they won't be as good as the times we spend together, I hope you enjoy them as much as I will enjoy writing them for you. It should be a lot of fun for the two of us.
