Wes such an honor and know this man. I worked foe him at Smiths Food and Drug. It was some of the best times of my life. On Christmas Eve, we would get off a half day and then have a luncheon. Afterwards several of us didn't have kiddos at the time and we would stay after. I would make a champagne punch. We always thought no one knew until Grant came over to me one Christmas Eve and asked where it was. He had always known and even though he never partaked of the punch he laughed and laughed when he realized I never knew he knew. He was a wonderful and compassionate man.
