Hi Kaitlyn,

This is my very first one of these quizzes, so you've taught me something new. Thank you, honey, because it's always important to keep learning new things.

Love, Uncle Joseph

What's your name? My title is Captain Joseph Rollins, US Navy, Retired. I go by a few names. My favorite ones are Dad, Uncle Joseph, and now Grandpa.

What is your best friend's name? Your Aunt Elizabeth is my best friend.

When was the last time you climbed a tree? Long before you were born. I could still climb one, though, if I needed to.

What would be your first question after waking up from being cryogenically frozen for 100 years? What's the situation and is my family safe?

What's your favorite day? I'm retired, so every day. Wednesdays are a big favorite at our condo because you and your brothers are here.

What is the most annoying question that people ask you? I don't let people annoy me so much these days. It's not worth it.

What is the luckiest thing that has happened to you? Having a wonderful wife and daughter who embraced each new adventure that came with my Navy career.

Siblings? One brother

Hair color? Black with gray

Eye Color? Brown

Who knows your deepest secret? I'm not allowed to tell military secrets, but Elizabeth knows everything else.

Are you shy? No, I'm not.

Can you do a headstand? Probably, but I'm not going to try.

Look to your right, what do you see? Smokey napping on the overstuffed chair.

What books are you reading? I just finished Night by Elie Wiesel. It's about his experiences during the Holocaust.

What do you worry about? I'm not a worrier by nature. I'd rather solve problems than worry about them.

If you and your family members/friends were on a desert island-survivor game, who would you pick to team up with and who would win? I would choose Catherine. We think alike strategy wise and I think we'd be a formidable team. Though my son-in-law might beat me to that choice of partner.

Do you have a tattoo? I have a badly faded anchor tattoo from when I was on my very first tour of duty.
