We were unsure of his political leanings. He used to be very liberal, supporting organizations working to reduce world poverty and hunger.
Many years ago the company he owned (in the deep south) employed an African American engineer back when it raised big eyebrows.
He retired, moved to North Carolina and learned how to email. He began forwarding right-wing garbage but he claimed he was just forwarding stuff he received from his Shriner buddies.
I continued to hope.
Recently I emailed him about the HBO Documentary of Barry Goldwater and he let the cat of of the bag.
I'm so depressed. I cannot even get the nerve to tell my sisters much less think of visiting him again.
