This Episode 131 is dedicated to the loving memory of Robert Lee Rutherford, 5-6-1939 to 5-22-2024. We affectionately knew him as Papaw. I got to meet Papaw in around 1997-1998 and he was still working at the Lee County Mosquito Control. He was a veteran of the Viet Nam war and served 20 years in the USAF. He did me the most glorious favor of all by telling me "yes" to my very important question of "may I marry your daughter". It has been a fantastic ride since. He was just such a nice man, a real Good Guy. Loving father of three and fantastic grandfather to my two boys. I got to spend the last 17 months with Papaw and over this increasingly sad time I got to witness actual True Love in the loving, thoughtful, all encompassing care of his now widow, Pong Sun (Mamaw). I thought I had a clue what true love meant. I did not. Now I do. We will miss Robert, Bob, Papaw dearly and we wish him everlasting peace until we meet him again.
