My Grandfather, Bob Kuhn. He worked the same job for 42 years, loved the same wife for 39 years, and fought for his country in the USCG during WWII across the Atlantic. He taught me how to throw a baseball, drink from the garden hose, and root for the Chicago Cubs through thick and thin. Most of all, he loved God and taught me respect and responsibility. He's been gone 11 years now, but there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of him. This is a picture of he and my Uncle Tom. My Uncle Tom, or "UT" as he's affectionately called online, is one of those all around good guys. He was a father to me throughout my growing up years, and continues to be someone that I look up to, love to be with, and think about often. He taught me how to bait a hook, run an outboard motor, and love the Baltimore (now Indianapolis) Colts. He took me to my first NFL game in 1985 (Bears 17, Colts 10 - darn!), and my first college football game in 1983. For the first 17 years of my life, he raised me a Purdue Boilermaker. Sometime in 1990 I defected to Ann Arbor to root on the Wolverines, but I can still sing "Hail Purdue" with the best of them - and "UT"...he's one of the best.
