Grandpa Arthur Samuel Roberts June 2, 1918




Favorite Song: Grandpa Sam remembers playing a duet with Grandpa Art in sacrament meeting twice. Grandpa Sam played the clarinet and Grandpa Art played the piano. They played "There is a green hill faraway" and "Rock of Ages"

Grandpa was in the air-force during World War II and was trained as a pilot. Some how he was later moved to top gunner in a B-29 Super Fortress. They have one at Hill Air Force base in Utah and we went and saw it for his birthday.

Grandpa Art would sit and shoot.

Wendy,  You always are interested in anything we know about our parents,etc.  I came across this note card my dad wrote and used to memorize something about Egypt.  His writing is almost impossible to read (a lot worse than my own).  I can remember that he used a fountain pen that you had to fill often with ink and that he usually had 3-6 cards in his shirt pocket to memorize their contents throughout the day.

Attached to this email is a photograph of both sides of this note-card.

Love, Sam
