0:00.0	Welcome to episode 263 of the JBP Podcast. I'm Michaela Peterson. In this amazing episode,
0:07.2	I will treasure forever. Dad talked to his dad, my grandpa Walter Peterson. They went over our
0:13.8	family history, relationships, growing up, learning to read and write, raising children and marriage.
0:19.7	I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.
0:41.7	That's, I never do that. You see, I hardly ever skipped school. And every time I did,
0:46.6	God damn it, you caught me. I did it like three times. One time I drove to Heinz Creek.
0:52.8	Oh three times. Really? It wasn't very, I tell you. It wasn't very often. One time I drove
0:58.0	to Heinz Creek to get away from you. I thought I'll drive to Heinz Creek. He's not going to
1:01.6	find me there. And then on the way back from Heinz Creek, you drove by and waved at me.
1:06.1	Said, oh my God, he caught me again. So ridiculous.
1:22.8	Hello everybody. I decided today that I'm going to talk to my dad as the subject for my YouTube

1:47.4	about his father, my grandfather, his grandfather, my great grandfather, his mother,
1:55.7	and what it was like growing up back in the 40s, mostly, it's born in 1937, July of 1937.
2:04.2	And we've talked about such things, but not that much. And so there's lots of things I want to know.
2:10.1	And so that's what we're going to try to talk about today. And I'm going to walk through his
2:14.0	life with him and ask him a bunch of questions so that I have the answers to the questions. And
2:19.2	I hope you enjoy it. Hello. Hey, George. How are you doing? Just as good as it gets.
2:27.6	Good. Glad to hear it. So I thought I'd start by telling the story of this third floor that I built
2:33.6	on my house. And so one of the things we did, we were going to build a log cabin on the third floor
2:42.2	of this semi-detached house right in downtown Toronto. Tammy and I thought about that. I guess we
2:47.4	wanted to carve it out in the woods, but we thought we could at least build one on our third floor.
