Pat's View: My father's story "The Boy With The Sewed On Foot"

My father, Gerald S. Robinson was a writer, a newspaperman and lived to be 93. Throughout his life, which included living through the great depression he was always optimistic. His favorite expression was “Maybe Something Good Will Happen,” and often enough, it did. That sunny disposition also reflected his humorous heart. He loved to laugh and make others laugh. It made him easy to be around and I remember him saying to me, “I don’t have any enemies.” As part of his light hearted approach to life he stayed in touch with his childhood, regaling my four brothers and I with his many adventures, friends and experiences. I was privileged enough to be asked by him to take his life stories, written on yellow legal pads and transcribe them into his self styled autobiography. It’s called Listen to your father and on Father’s Day this seemed appropriate. It’s a story from his youth that is funny, insightful and evocative of a time of innocence and trust.
