A path to Geekdom through my Grandfather
My Grandfather: Dwight Lane Alexander who I lost this past New Years Eve has influenced me in a number of ways spiritually, morally, even up to the sport teams I pull for. However one of his major influences was the passion for geek properties that he shared with me growing up. As both my parents… Continue reading A path to Geekdom through my Grandfather
