I remember my last visit to see Grandpa Romeo in 1958. I was about Richs age then. Romeo and Ada lived in a house on El Monte near the Fresno Fairgrounds. Romeo said he heard I was good at math and proposed the following math problem, "If I had 5 apples and you wanted 2 of them, how many would I have left?" "Sheesh," I thought, how easy is this and blurted out, "3!" "No," said Romeo, "I would still have 5. I only said you wanted them, not that I gave them to you." I asked my lawyer John, then 2, if that was a trick question and he mumbled something about Romeo being technically correct. After 3 years of therapy and several Hayley Mills movies I finally recovered my mojo.

Dad has got to see what you wrote!
Oops, Romeo's wife was Ida, not Ada.
