Question

My grandfather, who lost his short-term memory sometime during the first Eisenhower Aministartion, calls me into his studybecause he wants to tell me the story he's never told anyone before again....

My grandfather slams the door and motions me to the chair in front of his desk. I'll be thirteen in two weeks. "There's something i want to tell you, son," he says. "Something I've never told anybody." You think you're ready? You think you got a gumpation?"

" I think so."

" Think so."

" I know so, sir i know I've got the gumpation.". . .

" I t was to late" he says. " Someone knocked on my stateroom door. I leaped up. In those days i slept in uniform-shoes too." My granfather smiles." His face is so perfectly round that his smile looks like a gash in a basketball. I smile back.

" Don't smile." He says. "Just because I'm smiling, don't assume I couldn't kill you right now. Known that about a man."
