"We are all better for contact and companionship with other people. We need such contact to polish off the rough corners of our minds and our manners, but it is a pitiful thing when anyone cannot, if necessary, stand by himself sufficient to himself and in good company even though alone." Laura Ingalls Wilder
What a great story, Ann. How wonderful for him to share his accomplishments, even though it seems like he really revels in the accomplishments of others.
I love those pieces--I really enjoy learning about someone else and their life! Thanks for sharing!
