Pop talked about the "Do Nothing crowd"

Grandpa Charles would refer to the hoodlums on the corners as the "do nothing" crowd. He used this term and this was meant to dissuade his children from following in their footsteps. The corners are filled with unsupervised and undirected children who need a parent.
Mom kept the boys and girls directed and motivated by love. Both parents are a necessary component of human development. We have, unfortunately lost that vision.
