Something Different: A Rare Pearl

There he sat, summer after summer, unshaven, sporting a dingy wife-beater and baggy work pants, sitting in front of the window air conditioning unit with a cold Pearl in hand.  Often, his other hand gripped a Camel cigarette and he rarely smiled.  These are the early remembrances of my Grandfather.   For years, whenever an individual…
