Virginia L. Scott

He was usually the leader when it came to sports, but today he didn't feel like playing baseball. Or any other game. Last week Mom had gone away on a jetliner in a big hurry. Now she was home again, and had told Randy and his brothers and sister that Grand-Dad had passed away.

He knew so many funny songs to make children laugh. Randy didn't like thinking that Grand-Dad wouldn't be coming to California to visit anymore.
