Have you ever met my Grampa? He's a fairly large man and even at the tender young age of 83 he still has a pretty full head of hair. He joined the Air Force as soon as he could and flew in Korea, Vietnam, and the Berlin Air Lift. He intimidated me until I was about 20. Okay, maybe not that old, but to a little kid he's a gruff man. He's lived life, literally flown all around the world, and met some very colorful characters.

I love sitting and listening to Grampa tell his stories. I wish I could go and visit him and Gramma for a couple weeks and just record their stories. The oral history is amazing, but we need it written for future generations since oral histories rarely survive these days.
The movie that reminds me of my Grampa....
Big Fish
Basically, I've just given you the premise of this movie. It's a great one. One I like to watch a couple times a year.

I think he tells you more stories than he tells me. So you should def record them.
