He loved language and found a medium to have to express himself with. That was one of best things. Whenever we would go visit my family, almost every occasion I would ask dad what his latest poems were. A lot of times he would have a work in progress and read it and sometimes ask for comment on it. |
He really did live in two different worlds. He was real good at his job. He knew engineering. It came as second nature to him, and he always had a good job especially when he was with Mobile. But he was equally if not more adept as a poet. |
I think he thought it was more flexible to take a pad of paper, usually a yellow pad and a pencil and he would make a million scratch outs. |
It was great that he could finally take all that passion, and it was a tremendous amount of passion, and found a way to express himself through the arts. |
