While on the subject of Grandpa's schooling, it is also interesting to
note that at one point, he was taught by the legendary author and
American Historian, Bernard DeVoto. I had heard that DeVoto was raised
and had taught school briefly in Ogden and I once asked Grandpa if he
ever saw him. He replied rather nonchalantly, "Of course I did. He was
one of my teachers. Quite an angry little man." If you know anything
about DeVoto, that sums him up perfectly! Grandpa couldn't figure out
why I was laughing. Classic! Speaking of famous people, we also had an
excellent conversation once about selling shoes to Fawn Brodie. I'm
babbling on enough--but call me if you ever want the details of that
conversation.
