The eyebrow raising (when he extended one above his rimless glasses), would send the six of us kids running for cover. His grandsons share many of his traits, even though they never knew him. I felt Sam move for the first time (in utero) the day after my father died. What is passed from one entity to another (and when) may never be confirmed, but I'm convinced it happens. Just DNA doesn't explain it all. My father could wiggle his ears, AND raise eyebrows independently.

Fill us in on the 21st birthday shenanigans at some point. :-) And yes, it is a pretty good grandpa trait. He also could wiggle his ears, as can all the men on that side of the family. I think my brother can do it now too. Hey! You’re alive! Fill us in on the 21st birthday shenanigans at some point. :-)
