How Well Do You Know Your Dad?

These are the questions and answers to the magazine quiz I mentioned in the previous post. While I'm tempted to just post the questions for now and let you guess the answers, I'm actually going to do the questions and answers. For the cousins, I'd encourage you to think about asking your dad these same questions. You might be surprised with some of his answers. 1. How did your father usually get to school as a kid? He walked. 2. How does your father sign his name? (nickname? Middle initial? Full name? ) Full or middle name (Larry H Armga) 3.
