My grandpap was born on Groundhog Day in 1888. The first GH Day was the previous year in 1887. I never really knew him, as I was 4 years old when he died at the age of 59. He was a Teamster, driving a horse and delivery wagon, and his love for horses followed him through life. The two horses on the Teamster logo were named Thunder & Lightning.
I remember the story, how gram would put the leftover coffee from supper in a jar, in the icebox, and when Pop woke up early the next morning, he would reheat the coffee in a pot on the stove. This day has always been a sort of connection to him.
