A point to work to save people's home. My Grandpa made me feel proud to be a shepherdson. He gave me instant credibility due to his status and reputation in the community

My DAD Robert Henry Shep

My Dad. My dad was both my habor and my lighthouse. He provided a safe harbor to shield me from harm. A Place where I could replenish my soul and repair my life. There he taught me by example. Never by force or coercion. He let me and my brother Bobby make in our backyard a wiffleball park for baseball season for the neighborhood to play. He let us make it a football field in the fall with goal posts made from a bamboo stick hung between two pine trees. In winter he let us flood the backyard with hopes of it freezing into a ice rink We were free He was a light to guide me through the seas and tides of life. As I left the harbor to explore and navigate the ups and downs of school, friends, sports, music and work my father kept his light on. His beacon shined through my life. It was always there for me to look towards and adjust my course accordingly. He taught me how to sail. I am overcome with love for my father Robert H Shepherdson . He was both my harbor and my lighthouse.

The Great Depression was a severe worldwide economic depression that took place mostly during the 1930s, beginning in the United States. The timing of the Great Depression varied across nations; in most countries it started in 1929 and lasted until the late-1930s. It was the longest, deepest, and most widespread depression of the 20th century. In the 21st century, the Great Depression is commonly used as an example of how far the world's economy can decline.
Robert Henry Shepherdson was 17 years old when World War II: German forces in the west agree to an unconditional surrender. The German Instrument of Surrender ended World War II in Europe. The definitive text was signed in Karlshorst, Berlin, on the night of 8 May 1945 by representatives of the three armed services of the Oberkommando der Wehrmacht (OKW) and the Allied Expeditionary Force together with the Supreme High Command of the Red Army, with further French and US representatives signing as witnesses.

Robert Henry Shepherdson was 29 years old when Space Race: Launch of Sputnik 1, the first artificial satellite to orbit the Earth. The Space Race refers to the 20th-century competition between two Cold War rivals, the Soviet Union (USSR) and the United States (US), for dominance in spaceflight capability. It had its origins in the missile-based nuclear arms race between the two nations that occurred following World War II, aided by captured German missile technology and personnel from the Aggregat program. The technological superiority required for such dominance was seen as necessary for national security, and symbolic of ideological superiority. The Space Race spawned pioneering efforts to launch artificial satellites, uncrewed space probes of the Moon, Venus, and Mars, and human spaceflight in low Earth orbit and to the Moon.
