Vats of Arsenic

The short car trips dad and I take are frequently interesting. The observations and memories of my 96-year-old dad give me pause and the shared stories occupy my mind long after the drive. These intriguing stories would have never been heard without the idle time provided by a road adventure. …

Dear Dad, Glen Rose Law 09.04.21
