The Generational Apple

I discovered while reading a biography about my family, written by my Father’s brother, Edmund, something pretty amazing. 

 I came across the following passage about my grandparents, and I knew immediately that I had inherited their love of reading. 

“Ma, as was Pa was one of the best read people I have ever known. There was dedicated in that house at Milton Avenue a room alternately called the sitting room or the library. There were floor to ceiling shelves filled with books. One of my memories was of Ma and Pa discussing their co-reading of Will and Ariel Durant’s works such as their five volume, “Story of Civilization.”

Obviously the generational apple didn’t fall far from the tree.
