Scott Kaiser Wrote:Tosh is a good man, it was an honor tracking him down and talking to him on the phone. I've listened to a tape I recorded with him telling me about my father. I will admit, I was a bit skeptical at first, but as our conversation went on he told me about a friend of his who had a sick monkey, and I knew then he knew my father, because my father had brought home a monkey that was sick, my father gave that monkey away after my mother got after him but not before the monkey had a seizure in our backyard. He mentioned the St. Christopher metal chain my father wore around his neck, and it was those and a few more little tidbits that Tosh pointed out, no doubt they knew and worked with each other.
Tosh may not give you the whole story, and it seems to me he likes to share in what he knows with bits and pieces before making any transitions to that information that completes a story, you just have to follow what it is he's saying very closely, or you will miss the point he's making, that is what I get from him when we communicated, other than that, I just wanted to say thanks Tosh for sharing your story about my father, and the ops ya'll did together, it honestly made me cry hearing about the men who have / had respect for each other.
