Staff Perspective: The Best and Worst Things in Life Happen at Night

Bill Brim, Psy.D.

My great-grandfather once told me that “The best and worst things in life happen at night.”  I am sure that I had no idea what he was talking about at the time, but I clearly recall spending nights at my great-grandparents’ home in Jackson, Tennessee as a young boy and watching my great-grandfather pace the house at night and asking him why he always seemed to be awake.  My great-grandfather William Alfred Key enlisted in the U.S. Army underage to fight in the final months of World War I and in 1940 was commissioned as an engineering officer in the beginning of World War II.  He was later the State Commander of the Tennessee Veterans of Foreign Wars.  Papa was my first hero and I am pretty sure he never slept.
