History
Stories from my family's past—the people, places, and moments that shaped who we are.
My great-great-grandfather
Robert Thomas "Bob" Stubbs
1879 – 1922
Birmingham's first motorcycle racing champion, an Indian factory rider and world-record setter, and the mentor who discovered 19-time national champion Gene Walker.
My grandfather
Melvin "Tex"
Soldier · Officer · Father
The grandfather I never knew—a World War II Counter Intelligence soldier, a Kansas City police officer, and a gifted golfer, remembered as both wonderful and terrifying. An attempt to tell the truth and hold the shadow and the light.
