Personal Notes:
My Dad, Bob, grew up in Novato with my Grandma, Alyce, and his two siblings. He would tell my sisters and I how he would walk to school, up hill both ways, in 5 feet of snow with cardboard in his shoes, looking forward to coming home to enjoy some nice warm beef stew at the end of the day.
