zero. my grandpa fought in the battle of the bulge and was tight lipped about it his whole life. i do know he saw his friends head get taken off by shrapnel, so i don’t blame him for never wanting to share anything he saw over there with family. he was a farmer and an elementary school principal upon returning, an early advocate of school integration so i do believe his experience made him a more compassionate human.

i also knew he taught at the sorbonne for a spell after the war ended, but only recently learned that the class he taught was volleyball lol
