Although I left Idaho as a baby, my grandparents stayed. I visited them. They showered me with stories, affection, and music from my grandfather’s phonograph. Although they lived in Idaho, they had adventures around the world. They especially loved Scotland, where Jim’s hometown hero was born. My grandmother’s favorite place was Loch Ness.
When looking for a hometown hero, I expanded my search to a stone’s throw away from my hometown. With great enthusiasm, I crown my hometown hero Harmon Killebrew! Let’s talk about him.
His Grandfather
His grandfather, Culver Killebrew, was a blacksmith in the Union Army.
