[QUOTE="1914 Hereford, post: 752653, member: 14130"] Idaman, I am Franklin's daughter, Jane Nash Deewall. Mike and I have enjoyed most of your stories and the good comments about the cattle. The family and I are unaware of the falling out that you write about. I know that to Daddy, your moving to Canada was, for him, like loosing part of himself. On the comments about religion and the Bull test manager. I think that if Dad could have figured out how to adopt him, he would have--he just thought the world of him! A rather funny story that expresses what a great, open minded Dad he was. When my two sisters and I came home from college and told Dad, who was on the school board at that time, that we didn't feel that we had been properly prepared for college, he promptly pulled the two boys out of the public schools system and enrolled them into a Catholic boys school, and when our younger sister was ready for high school, he enrolled her in the catholic girls school. Needless to say, during the next school board election, Dad was promptly defeated ! That just tickled him to death! I think that my brother, Jeff, summed up how most of his true friends and family felt about Franklin in a penning that he did for Dad's memorial. " He life was clearly defined not by his words, but by his deeds. Every instance of his existence was predicated on a clear set of principles. Moral relativism was nowhere to be found in his makeup. He didn't have to say who or what he was. All of us here know what he was. A friend of his once said to us, " that is the most honest man I have ever known."
