Getting To Know My Dad John W Shattuck

GETTING TO KNOW MY DAD is the fourth book in a series of books based on, "GETTING TO KNOW MY FAMILY". (Grandma, Grandpa, Mom). The purpose of this book is for a child to get to know more about their Dad. (Or you might use it to learn more about your dad). The book has eight to ten questions, for each stage of his life, to guide them as they ask him questions about the following stages of his life: A) DAD'S EARLY MEMORIES BEFORE HE STARTED SCHOOL B) ELEMENTARY SCHOOL C) JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL D) HIGH SCHOOL E) COLLEGE or CAREER TRAINING SCHOOL F) ARMED FORCES G) MEETING MOM H) FIRST JOB I) DAD'S LIFE WITH MY GRANDMA / GRANDPA J) CAREER K) RETIREMENT L) FAMILY TREE CHART. This simple, easy to follow outline will be a guide in asking him a few questions that will help him recall special people, places and events in his memories, from early childhood to his adult and retirement years. I'm sure you will see a twinkle in his eyes, a smile on his face and perhaps a tear or two of joy or sadness, as he tells you about many things in his past that he hadn't thought about in years and that perhaps you didn't know about. For each section, the guide provides space to write dad's answers and paste pictures in the section appropriate for that time in his life. You might choose to go through one or two sections at a time with dad. (Unless he's having a good time and wants to go through more.) I hope you receive as much enjoyment and as many laughs from hearing dad's answers to the questions as my children and I did as we went through it.
