I love checking in on your site! Your grandfather has an impressive past! I think that his thoughts one our youth today are true. It is SOOOOO sad to see work ethic declining and we will continue to see how that impacts our society as the years go on. Generational studies are very interesting to me- Let's see what generation Y will do...??? Keep writing! WOW- that was a great piece! I love checking in on your site!

Ninety years worth of wisdom sure seems to shine through. He might be loquacious and a little old-fashioned, but he's definitely got his finger on the pulse of the problem I think. Wow.
