kippurbird This is an article about my Guv. He's my mother's father. My grandfather, but we always called him Guv. That's because he was the governor of the family. It made things a lot easier, because my dad's parents were grandma and grandpa and my mom's parents were bubbie and Guv.
My Guv was an amazing man. This article barely scratches the surface of who and what he was. This was a man who when invited to the White House stole a punch glass, which we still own. A man who almost got kicked out of Medical School because he broke into one of the cadaver labs and stole a liver to play football with. A man who got through college and medical school on debate and football scholarships. Someone who would help women place their babies in homes when they couldn't keep them after birth. He did hundreds of millions of things and he is my hero.
