Thought for Today
“Odd thing, I’d never thought of my pa as a person. I
expect a child rarely does think of his parents that way. They are a father and
a mother, but a body rarely thinks of them as having hopes, dreams, ambitions
and desires and loves .... I got to wondering if he ever doubted himself like I
did, if he ever felt short of what he wished to be, if he ever longed for
things beyond him that he couldn’t quite put into words.”
Louis L'Amour, Lando
in A Trail
of Memories.

Nabisco, where he
worked most of his life
in the United States.
