I had the privilege of living with him for the last 5 years of his life &#8211; it was such a gift. We became real friends. This picture was taken down by the pond on the land in Wisconsin for a little book of his stories. Grandpa always told bedtime stories about Slippery and Slider, two river otters who lived and played in a place much like where we lived. His Grandson, Christopher Landt, had him record the stories and then published them in a book. When<span class=\"text_exposed_show\"> I was there with him we were working on a second edition that would be published by a local publisher and could be distributed more widely. I still have a couple of those books &#8211; contact me if you would like one. Unfortunately he died before he could see the finished book, but he did see the galleys. I was able to give a copy of his book to every fourth grader in Wisconsin Dells after his death.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3329\" style=\"width: 327px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3329\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-3329\" src=\"http:\/\/rockaria.net\/bluebirdprairie\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2926-625x934.jpg\" alt=\"Eugene Landt\" width=\"317\" height=\"474\" srcset=\"http:\/\/rockaria.net\/bluebirdprairie\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2926-625x934.jpg 625w, http:\/\/rockaria.net\/bluebirdprairie\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2926-100x150.jpg 100w, http:\/\/rockaria.net\/bluebirdprairie\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2926-450x672.jpg 450w, http:\/\/rockaria.net\/bluebirdprairie\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2926-768x1147.jpg 768w, http:\/\/rockaria.net\/bluebirdprairie\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2926.jpg 1237w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 317px) 100vw, 317px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-3329\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Eugene Landt<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_3330\" style=\"width: 330px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3330\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-3330\" src=\"http:\/\/rockaria.net\/bluebirdprairie\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2928-625x992.jpg\" alt=\"Dad's stories\" width=\"320\" height=\"508\" srcset=\"http:\/\/rockaria.net\/bluebirdprairie\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2928-625x992.jpg 625w, http:\/\/rockaria.net\/bluebirdprairie\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2928-95x150.jpg 95w, http:\/\/rockaria.net\/bluebirdprairie\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2928-450x714.jpg 450w, http:\/\/rockaria.net\/bluebirdprairie\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2928-768x1218.jpg 768w, http:\/\/rockaria.net\/bluebirdprairie\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2928.jpg 1819w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-3330\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dad&#8217;s stories<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"_5pcb _4b0l\">\n<div id=\"tl_unit_2609154708854219383\" class=\"_4-u2 mbm _4mrt _5jmm _5pat _5v3q _4-u8\" data-fte=\"1\" data-ftr=\"1\" data-time=\"1497821600\" data-insertion-position=\"0\">\n<div id=\"u_0_26\" class=\"_3ccb\" data-gt=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;click2canvas&quot;,&quot;fbsource&quot;:703,&quot;ref&quot;:&quot;nf_generic&quot;}\">\n<div class=\"fbUserContent _5pcr\">\n<div class=\"_1dwg _1w_m\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"_5x46\">\n<div class=\"clearfix _5va3\">\n<div class=\"clearfix _42ef\">\n<div class=\"_5va4\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"_6a _5u5j\">\n<div class=\"_6a _5u5j _6b\">\n<div class=\"_5pcp _5lel\">\n<div id=\"u_0_2h\" class=\"_6a _43_1 _4f-9 _nws _21o- _fol\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I miss my Dad every day.
