Poppa Hanes is remembered as a quiet hard working man but occasionally he had his moments…

On his 50^th birthday the family had planned a surprise party. Everyone was over at the house and the men took Poppa up to the barn so the women could sit out the party stuff. When Poppa walked into the house he took a little book out of his pocket and started reading off all the clues he had – he knew about the party all the time.
