I was so baffled that the mom from "Webster" was in this movie

My Papa loves movies and because of that, I associate many movies with him.

I mention this because one of those movies was on tonight. Airport '75. I love all of the Airport movies, but that one makes me think of my grandpa. I can remember watching it with him at his house when I was much younger, probably around ten, maybe not even that. When I watch the movie now, that memory automatically pops up and gives me warm fuzzies.

I actually associate another disaster movie with Papa (well, two more if you count Waterworld as a disaster film). Earthquake. I can remember watching it with him at my house, both of us sitting on the floor while the "grown ups" talked. It was when Baby Jessica fell down the well because they kept breaking in the movie to give updates. I can still remember some of the jokes he made at the movie's expense.

I'm sure that most people wouldn't necessarily want to link their grandfather with a disaster movie or two, but it was through those movies that my Papa taught me a valuable life lesson.

Never get on a plane or be in California with George Kennedy.
