Letter from Charlie's Great Grandfather Stringer

Charlie received a very sweet letter from her Great Grandfather Stringer today. She hasn't gotten a chance to meet him yet, but we're heading up to Michigan in July and plan on seeing him then. Although he doesn't have his typewriter anymore, Charlie's Grandma B was kind enough to type the letter on his behalf and bring it back for him to sign. Corey remembers always receiving typed letters from Grandpa Stringer when he was a kid, which exemplifies Grandpa's overall elegantly formal approach to life. This is a man, after all, whose casual wear consists of a snappy sweater, a dress shirt, a tie, and slacks. He is a pretty neat guy. Here's what he wrote:

Dear Miss Stringer,

(From your great grandfather in Michigan)

Two things appear to me to be abundantly clear:

1. You very wisely chose a very good family for you to arrive in.
and
2. So far you have done a masterful job at keeping everyone else in the family right on their toes to see to it you receive all the attention you need at exactly the time you need and want it.

Take it from an old "Geezer" who has been around quite a while and knows a little about these things - I am convinced that you have your whole world right in the palm of your hand and without a doubt you are going to keep it right there.

Lots of love,
Great Grandfather George P. Stringer

I love that he included his middle initial. What a cutie. Here are some photos of Grandpa from last Christmas.
