Pilgrim Jr, and I were sitting eating oatmeal one cold morning. Few words were exchanged as I read the paper and he sipped his coffee trying to shake out the cobwebs.
JR broke the silence.
"You know" he said slowily "If my Great Grandfather were alive today he'd be world famous".
Dropping the paper I looked at him for a second absorbing the comment. My grandfathers, his great grandfathers were regular guys.. One was a teacher and the other a factory worker. I didn't know JR's great grandfathers on his mothers side. Both were born in Italy, one in Sicily the other in Naples. They both immigrated to the USA were they raised families. I realized I didn't know anything about these fellas.
I bit.
"Why?" I asked genuinely interested.
Looking down at his oatmeal, JR replied, "Because he'd be 120 years old".
