I learned something new about my father through an old news article that came up when searching his name. I won’t say what it was, but it is something personally meaningful to me that explains some childhood memories that never made sense to me before.
For curiosity I tried the same search for his name on google.com and went through about ten pages of results without finding this link.
Thank you so much for sharing. I didn't expect this at all, and this is probably the most rewarding thing to hear that has come out of my work personally in a while.
This turned up the old school year books for my dad, including some photos I would probably not have seen otherwise. Saved into my family archives now as something for my son to see about his grandpa in the future.
I momentarily thought "Me too", but it turns out there was a kid about 10 year younger than my dad who went to the same-named school at the same time but in a different State.
So ultimately all that searching his name revealed was that he's never attempted to cultivate an online presence.
