Grandkids

December 20, 2006 by David.

Saturday, December 16, my wife Sharlet became a grandmother.  Her son, who is near graduation from University of Hawaii with a degree in Korean studies, had a bouncing baby girl, Aimi.  The mother is Japanese and the kid is cuter than, well, anyone else’s kid.  Ok, I guess that kinda makes me a grandpa, even if it isn’t my “bloodline.”

While I’m on this topic, I’ve gotta brag a bit about Sharlet’s son, Dustin.  He is over six feet tall, blond, blue, dang good looking.  He can be a deep thinker and come to some amazing conclusions.  He’s social and friendly and an all-around good guy.

Back in high school he roomed with a Korean and that started him on his Korean quest.  He has visited Korea a number of times.  He can speak, read, and write Korean fluently.  He spent the better part of a year going to a University in Daegu, Korea on a scholarship which he got from a referal from a Korean language teacher here in the states.  He’ll get scouped up by some company doing business in the US and Korea with such an unusual set of skills.

There are lots of stories related to Dustin and Korea (not to mention other stuff) but that’ll have to wait for some other post.
