It may have skipped a generation because that wasn&#8217;t my Dad&#8217;s style but it was his father&#8217;s. At his death a close fried wrote a letter to the family explaining the kind of friend he was and describing a basket ball game where some thugs tormented one of my grandfather&#8217;s teammates. My namesake challenged them to meet outside. They were bigger and he got a pounding but that was the spirit my Welty grandfather&#8217;s friend so admired. And the other grandfather is the one who was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. I&#8217;ve written a lot more about him.<\/p>\n<p>Stewing about our President has inspired my next column in the Reader and a snow sculpture that I am in no hurry to complete as the weather won&#8217;t cooperate until I leave town for a of couple weeks.
