    Re: The Rules of the Gentleman

    Reminds me of my grandfather. To this day, I can't wear a hat indoors because I hear his voice in my head telling me to take it off. Thanks, Grandpa Leddy, for making me a gentleman.

    I can hear my grandmother speaking virtually each and every one of those 20 lines right now. And a few more. God bless her soul.

    Re: The Rules of the Gentleman

    Very nice.

    One rule I read years ago was "A Gentleman never unintentionally insults anyone." I will admit it took me some additional time to fully understand what this meant.

    Great list.
    My father never told them to me, but he lived them and taught by example.
