• Notes

  Alva was my paternal grandfather; he was always called "Alvie" He was totally deaf. The story was at age 17 or 19 he was standing under a tree for shelter during a lightening storm. The tree was struck and his ear drums burst. He could read lips well and a "Magic Tablet" was always available in our house. He should not have been allowed to drive, but he had a license. Once we drove from our farm to Trenton, MO and he let out my mother and I in the alley by the bank. Mother got out first and I was getting out as well--had my feet just outside the car. Grandpa started to drive off. I almost got caught by the door and drug underneath the car. Being only eight years old, I was quick to react and jumped into space by a column. Scared my mother & me. It was the last time I went anywhere with him at the wheel. Grandpa was not demonstrative toward me; I do not know about his other grandchildren. I remember no hugs. No kind words. He was just a man I called "grandpa".
