Did you Know Granpa was a Math Geek

In my Grade school ,grandpa was only an average Student , But when he got into high school ,he had a math teacher that realy motiviated him , as i took all kinds of math, Gen,Math- Algerbera 1 & 2 , Trig- Geomitry- Caculus - I got straight a's and My senior Year A + all the way through , My math teacher was my kind of teacher, he would take us on Field Trips for half a day and we was excused from Classes the rest of the day. He was always making you use your head . we would be walking down the halls going to next class , he would come up as ask to how far is a certain object was , and we would take out our Slide Rules and give him the answer right away , But the Grades that I recieved were because , I was the Teachers Pet , Nanny- Nanny - Nanny and i found out that if you were the teachers pet,You got good grades .

Grandpa Secret

When i was 19 years old , I had a Souped up 1948 Ford Convertible . It had a Super charged air intake, 3/4 Cam . High Speed Transmission and Twin Smities for the tail pipe . During the Time of the Story ,I was working
Between Burns ,Oregon and Ontario , Oregon as Assist.Foreman , Any way on week ends i would drive home to Hammett , At Mountain Home their was a cop that always tried to catch me , it got so it was a game , I would as i approched Mountain Home , Put the Car in Secound Gear ( It used to go 85 MPH in Secound ) and Let the Smities Wake up the Town , and then the Cop would try to Catch Me , All he had was a old pickup , it probaly would not go over 60 MPH , any way he would turn on his siren and his Blinking Lights . I would let him get about a block away. then i would always leave him in the Dust . This was a regular Routine that we played for about 6 mouths when i worked in Oregon , Motto of this Story , When it come time for your kids to drive , Make sure you know what they are Doing . That old saying " Do what i tell you , Not what i Do Should apply in all Cases . The only thing about this story , My mom & dad did not know that their darling little boy
was up to no good at sometimes in his life .
