George Candee and Mrs. May Bubeck. Can't tell yet whether my son will follow in his Dad's footsteps. Toys don't make an engineer. But he's learning some of the basic principles of physics with which many professions deal.

On the way home from Church, when he talks about his lesson, I recognize familiar signs character is still in the mold. Deep conviction, bold dedication come later. But he's grasping those basic truths on which great living rises. For a busy engineer who used to be hit-or-miss in his church attendance, fostering the growth of a soul is a fascinating experience especially as I find my own faith deepening with every reverent day! Can't tell about his following my footsteps. But I've discovered new dimensions in life following his.
