I don’t care much for “Hallmark Holidays” but it’s never a bad idea to remember your parents. And so today thoughts turn to my Dad, Stepdad and Grandfathers.

Here is Dad, Grandad and Cousin Bill on the front porch on the occasion of  his Roebuck High School graduation.

Cousin Bill, Dad & Grandad

This is taken in Columbia, SC upon Dads graduation from the University of South Carolina. Dad (as well as my Stepdad) being a Gamecock led to many years of suffering I’m sure, especially after I enrolled and graduated from Clemson.  I think we all know who has the upper hand in that rivalry.

Grandad & Dad

Here’s a photo of my maternal grandfather, Ralph Oswald Parris (PaPa), Dad, sister Robin and Grandfather W.F. Smith. On the back Dad labeled it “Those responsible- Grandads Parris and Smith. Also Tommy the Dad.”  Dad was in college at the time and the support of my grandfathers was important to the survival of his young family.
