    What a delightful man! I love his saying "I'll give you a motto. I think it's important. Be truthful. Keep learning. Keep loving. That's enough," he says. "Those are the big headings. Everything else is frosting."

    Plus what he said something like "we're very conservative unless it's politics" Sounds a lot like my Dad.
