Hooray for the Fourth!

On July 4th 1995, while living in Corona, California, I wrote this note in memory of my Grandfather. My Dad was kind enough to forward this to me and I thought on this 4th of July 15 years later it was appropriate to post in my blog. -Jeff

In honor of Grandpa Wunrow (my Grandpa) I’d like to lead all of you a great big rousing Hooray for the Fourth !!!

I think of Grandpa Wunrow every year on the 4th of July. Sitting in his green plaid Bermuda shorts, blue Badger Boys State golf shirt, black socks, brown dress shoes and red Wunrow Racing cap, smoking the butt of a goopy old cigar held together with toothpicks, watching the fireworks at State Fair Park from the front of his house. Telling stories about his time in Uncle Sam's Navy. Our country could learn a thing or two about patriotism from ol' Alfred Jon Wunrow, I know I sure did. God bless you Grandpa, and Thank You…. In closing all of us in the Wunrow West clan want to wish you all a terrific 4th of July holiday. We pray that you all end up home safely at days end. Take care everyone. Jeff
