"This time I ventured into the area of
genealogy. It is by far the most economical hobby I've ever attempted. [please
don't believe that statement, I seem to spend a lot of money on genealogy now days].
Step one was to organize my Grandfather's notes;... as luck would have it I found a stash
of papers (1948-1957 time frame) my father had tucked away years ago. In it was a
letter from my Grandmother written six months before I was born. In the letter was a
comment that she wished Grandpa would sell his car (my '33 ET!) for scrap metal. Can
you imagine such a ridiculous thought? And I loved my Grandmother! My
grandmother, mother and wife claim relation only through marriage, but I'm sure it's got
to be closer than that. I've now heard the same general comment from all three of
them."
