The parents were merely frosty but those Klanner kids were nothing short of brutal. I survived and so will your grandson. Of course I left Dixie like I was shot out of a cannon as soon as I could and will never live there again.

However, tell your grandson he will have a great time starting in his mid 30s or so looking up all those cleft headed bully boys to see what they've done with their lives. It's very gratifying and becomes even more so as time goes on.
