On this day I note the passing in 1982 of my paternal grandfather, Estel E. Dillman.  He is my Indiana Dillman connection, and the (at the time) mystery of his ancestry is what got me interested in, and then hooked on, genealogy.  At that time, he either didn't remember, or wouldn't discuss his childhood and ancestry.  Turns out it was for good reasons, told elsewhere on this blog.
