About My Grandpa  
by Marilyn Ann Shoemaker Topper

Wow...what a neat Grandpa!  Grandpa was real special, and loved by all!  Gramps was kind!  I remember when he always bought Valentine chocolates for the gals in his life.  Got 'em day after too, on sale!

Gramps always had a dog... MANY of them over the years!  ..... I will always remember his Dexter!  He had him trained to fetch the newspaper!  The guy would drive by the farm and toss the paper in the front year...Dexter would take off, catch it, and run back to Grandpa Bill, on the front porch and wait for a treat.  We thought that was great!

Gramps cooked some too!  He also cooked at the Elks Club fish frys!  Gramps was in the kitchen a lot, always helped us girls get the dishes done too!!!!  So thoughtful!!

I miss my Grandpa Bill!  We had lots of  GOOD times!!  And it's good to be spoiled!  And Gramps picked out my name -- Marilyn Ann!  I'm so blessed to have a super Grandpa!
