    Neat! Always great to see & read about one's ancestors even if one already knows the tales.

    ....looks like good humor & wit isn't always learned, but a genetic trait passed down to future generations. Thanks for sharing the article about GrandPa Bee, would like to have met him....

    Cool! Is he on your mom or dad's side of the family? I guess we know now where you get your sense of humor from.

    Boomer:

    He was the father of my dads mother.

    He wrote a short autobiography in 1926,
    it contained a story of how his father was jailed and fined for mentioning to some black folks,that when the war was over they would be free.

    I think that says a lot about him,to write something like that,in the south in 1926.

    Mike:

    I`d like to chamber something in Mashburn Bee.
