Oh he was cool. Native ww2 vet, fought on the western front. Had a file opened on him because he was involved with unions and had connections to communist orgs. Brawled with fascists on a regular basis after the war. Worked for the railroad. Used to sing IWW tunes round the campfire. Would slip me five bucks whenever i was around so i can get a snack at the corner store. Had a soviet penpal for over 40 years, and visited him twice during the 90s with my grandma.
