Finding Grandpa Prudell

July 23, 2010

I just posted my first published piece of non-fiction, called “Grandpa’s Story.”

Noting the number of years that have passed since then, it’s a meditation on the ephemeral reality of our lives. How much has changed, what continues in all our lives – gardens, family, funerals.  I make a reference to ‘fast food outlets’, which Grandpa shunned – they were just beginning to dot the landscape.

If you remember a conversation, have a photo or  any facts or stories about Joseph Andrew Prudell, let me know; I’ll make a page for him. Here are some photos from Mary’s website (www.maryhicks.com). See that fiesty personality shining through.
