Synopsis

NEVER SAY CALF ROPE is the intimate story of the strong bond that exists between an adoring grandfather and his emulating grandson. At age 82, the author takes a backward look at his life, and in so doing, discovers that certain individuals, unknowingly, had a profound impact on him, helping form the character of the man he ultimately became. As a belated expression of gratitude for their positive influence, he pays tribute to each of them. He urges his grandson to consider their good qualities and adopt some of them as he, day-by-day, builds his own character.
