What an amazing coincidence. This past summer my 14-year-old grandson worked at the ballpark for the area’s local baseball team, The Mallards. He worked at the concession stand making funnel cakes, a food I must admit I had never heard of previously. He had a great time and made a lot of money for a “14-year-old kid.”
But the other day, I had a delightful surprise. I drove to a nearby small town to buy shoes at a great little shoe store. My parents liked to shop there for the good buys and because they became friendly with the owner, Steve, who enjoyed visiting Las Vegas as much as my parents did.
When I arrived at the store Steve greeted me and as I started looking around I noticed a couple photos of the Mallard’s baseball team. Later when I commented on the photos to Steve, he told me he owned the team. “No kidding,” I exclaimed, “my grandson Jacob worked for you all summer.” “Oh I wish I had known,” he said. “I would have given him a hard time,” he teased. And, I thought to myself, “How incredible. Steve had known my folks for many years and now he employed their great-grandson. If only my parents were still alive. They would be so pleased.
