When I think back to the days in the mid 50's when grandpa Rea lived with us for a time I remember certain things.
1. Grandpa Rea always called my mother Della - "Dellie".
2. He was thin and lank with beautiful snow white hair.
3. He usually had oat meal for breakfast, & had the ability to dribble about half of what he intended to eat all over the table & floor.
4. On rare occasions he made mom prepare scrambled eggs w/ fried brains. Watching him eat that usually made me want to barf.
5. Grandpa loved to fish and I remember at least one time while we were visiting him in Madison, Indiana that he took me down to the river to fish for Drum.
6. He would sit in a chair for hours quietly while thumping his hand down on the armrest.
My grandpa Rea was a great guy and I miss him, I only wish I had been old enough to appreciate him more then as the treasure that he was.
