It was only as a teenager he realised that his father would have had to have talked constantly, 24 hours a day, for the entire two years they were married, before he was killed in action during World War 2. He admits this makes little difference as by then his long-dead father had become the font of all wisdom.
-->I figured at twenty-two my father was wiser than Homer, Socrates, Newton and Ben Franklin rolled up into one. Funny thing is, I still do.
