He was my Grandfather and I was only 6 when he died, but according to my Mother, there wasn't much he couldn't do. Supposedly, he could go to a museum, see a painting, then come home and paint one almost identical. I remember he used to carve small boats for my brother and me from the bark off trees. My Mother said once he even performed an emergency c-section on a cat who was unable to deliver her kittens.
