QUESTIONS

1. What’s your favorite story about an ancestor?

2. What family or school rule would you most like to change?

ANSWERS By: Austin Smith

1. There’s a bunch, and I’ forgetting them now. I like the one about my (great?) grandfather when he was working for a family company, who was providing him with a room and food. He asked why he wasn’t getting paid like the other guys, and they asked him what he was doing with all the slips of paper they gave him every week. He said he was saving them, and he had enough checks stored up to buy the company, which he did.

2. The one that makes me not in charge.
