Podcast Episode 137: A Brief History of My Father

Jun 14, 2014 | In The Loop

In The Loop with Andy Andrews, hosted by David Loy

On this week’s episode, I’m sharing a story I wrote about my dad.

It’s not really a short story since all of it is true.

It has been pieced together from things I remember, and stories I have heard from others who knew him.
I wanted my boys to have a description of their grandfather in the event that I am not able to give the oral history.

My father had a different method of parenting.

He was kind of nut. Not a professional nut like I am, but still a nut.
This story takes you through some of the memories that I love, and the funny things that he would say as our church pastor.
