This post is a shout-out to my cousin, Joanne, during the
birthday month of William Samuel Neath (1889-1973). In so many ways, our
grandfather is still with us.
Joanne wrote to me recently to say, that on his death bed
forty-two years ago, Grampa told her, a then-college student: “Two things they
can never take from you is your education and land …” She says she carries his
philosophy with her to this day.
