I think I have a pretty interesting family.  My paternal grandpa fought for four years in WWII.  My paternal grandmother owned only a model-T Ford and taught country school.  My Dad built roads to earn enough money to go to college.

My maternal grandpa was one of the most successful cattle ranchers in NE South Dakota.  My maternal grandma ironed even handkerchiefs.  My mother became frustrated with a bullying superintendent when she was a teacher, so she quit her job, ran for the school board, and got rid of the superintendent.

There are some great stories about these times in their lives.  I've heard a couple of them.  But I'm going to use this blog to snuff out the details and even more stories of their lives.
