My dad, Thomas Blake Day, liked to read and learn about the Civil War. He had tons of books which still populate his man cave. We still have to try to auction them on eBay. Next project!

He came to my second grade classroom to share what he knew with my kiddos.

The kids loved the pictures.

They were delighted to have a visitor to the classroom.

I was very proud to show my dad to the students.

I didn’t take pictures often in the classroom at the time.

I still remember these kids though I don’t recall their names.

Some of their questions were more about him than about the Civil War. Very understandable. Probably a little surprising to my dad though.
