To the Editor:

Our grandfather, Martin Klein, was and still is a reminder to us always of the high quality people that have been dubbed "the greatest generation". Behind the blunt sense of humor that I'm sure the people of Killingworth were able to see during our grandfather's first term, is someone who we have always looked up to with awe.

Grandpa's father moved to this country when he was 16 years old with no English or money. His son, Martin, grew up during the depression and the Second World War. When we think on how he worked his way out of the poverty he was born into and went on to build a prosperous egg business, send 4 children to college, be actively involved in local and national government issues, travel to six continents with Peace Corps helping the less fortunate, we're overwhelmed by his insatiable need to make people's lives better regardless of the sacrifice that is might entail.

Our grandfather is from the generation of people that built this country and we know he has the wisdom, drive, and desire to help people that will make Killingworth a great place to live.

Sincerely his grandsons,
Jacob and Nathan Winkler
