Fortunately for my father, Charlie took him under his wing and was a big influence in my father's life. Dad lived with Charlie and his family for awhile.<br /><br />Also with the Depression on, hard to keep 2 teen boys fed as well as 3 younger children. Dad was taken care of by the Arnolds. I think the Lyman School was Grandpa's way to scare Mario straight. Maybe in my grandfather's mind, at least Mario would have a roof over his head and would be provided for. My grandfather struggled to provide for his family during the Depression.CJ Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14931779747826558608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683035672152916229.post-28019576286198517032017-07-27T08:41:59.685-04:002017-07-27T08:41:59.685-04:00I remember your father telling about Mario and the...I remember your father telling about Mario and the Lyman School before. It was a shame how they treated Mario. Of course, he was not just vulnerable, but pliable, too, as proven when he returned to his wife. Always good to read your dad's stories of his young life.Bleubeard and Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149710375520733752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683035672152916229.post-6115702195111896032017-07-27T08:32:02.977-04:002017-07-27T08:32:02.977-04:00His writings are like listening to him over a cup ...His writings are like listening to him over a cup of tea.CJ Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14931779747826558608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683035672152916229.post-82528411934564592322017-07-27T08:02:05.786-04:002017-07-27T08:02:05.786-04:00Now that's a story that would make a good nove...Now that's a story that would make a good novel or film.
