One of our closest friends had a grandfather who was a big time naval admiral. We were lucky enough to go to a ceremony honoring him and McCain was the key note speaker. We were at the reception with our friend and McCain came over to her with a shot of whiskey. He said, “I’d like to tell you a little about your grandfather.” (She never knew him.) “when I was 17 and enlisting; I met your grandfather. He asked me if I drank. I said no. He handed me a shot of whiskey and said, now you do.” He went on to talk glowingly about her grandfather and then she and the Senator had a toast together.

RIP
