Atticus Finch Character Interview

The person I have chosen to interview/write about is my grandfather Melvin Isenhour. He is 71 years old and lives with his wife Teresa and they have 2 kids ( my uncle and dad).

Shadowing him is definitely going to be a memory I will never forget and it is all thanks to a quote by a guy named Atticus
