Dingus and the Old Man
It was July of 1970 and I had been back from Viet Nam for about two weeks. I made the six hour drive from my house in Pennsylvania to the Maryland shore to see the Old Man. Ben Platt had practically raised me and although he was really no relation, I referred to him as my grandfather or just, the Old Man. I lived with an aunt near Tolchester Beach, but spent most of my time with her neighbor, Ben. He taught me honesty, integrity and what it took to be a decent person.
