Crook, II, a decorated Captain in the US Army in World War II, who is now buried in Arlington Cemetery.As soon as I turned five, my grandfather made it a tradition to pick me up in his big 1970s Cadillac convertible to run errands with him in downtown Des Moines, Iowa. He was a six-foot tall man with a booming voice and a swagger that let you know he wasn’t anybody’s fool. He wasn’t exactly warm and fuzzy, but he and I understood one another and enjoyed our trips out together each week.______________________ResourcesHow Stories become our Compass (on Substack): https://open.substack.com/pub/deborahheiserphd/p/how-stories-become-our-compass?r=2sdqd&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=webThe Right Side of 40 (Substack): https://deborahheiserphd.substack.com/Psychology Today: The Right Side of 40: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/contributors/deborah-heiser-phd______________________For more podcast stories from After 40 with Dr. Deborah Heiser, visit: https://www.itspmagazine.com/after-40-podcastWatch the The Right Side of 40 playlist on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnYu0psdcllRiYCWyyhoLJqyUE0ERuMfdITSPmagazine YouTube Channel:📺 https://www.youtube.com/@itspmagazineBe sure to share and subscribe!
