when i was about five or six i saw a picture my grandmother had taken of my grandfather when they were "courting". the picture was my grandpa holding himself up on a stop sign parallel to the ground with one arm and waving with the other. the man was slight by todays standards, 5'8" 190lbs. but he could could bring men to the floor with a hand shake, right hand, and as i was told by one of his old running buddies at his funeral, the odd head but. He also raised bulldogs and i always wanted the muscles his dogs had.
