This tough old bastard was my grandfather. Born in Oklahoma in 1872, fought in the Spanish American War.

Later in life, after having a family and being abusive when he got drunk, he met the bottom end of a cast iron skillet wielded by my grandmother who was hiding behind the door. My aunt told me of the beating, although it didn't cure his alcoholism, it made him more conscious of how he treated my grandmother...
