Person I'd Like To Spend A Day With:
Granddad, Charley Congleton, who died when Greg was 12. Family members have told him he is much like Charley. As a forest ranger, cattleman, community leader, surveyor, homesteader, and trail blazer of the first order it would have been good to have known him as an adult.
