Sons And Heroes

Posted on June 16, 2012 | 21 Comments

“You don’t raise heroes, you raise sons.

And if you treat them like sons, they’ll turn out to be heroes, even if it’s just in your own eyes.”                                                                    Walter M. Schirra, Sr.

Happy Birthday, Marshall, from Motor Man and me.

    My favorite Harmon Killebrew quote: My father used to play with my brother and me in the yard. Mother would come out and say, “You’re tearing up the grass”; “We’re not raising grass,” Dad would reply. “We’re raising boys”
