All 4 of my grandparents (now deceased) were born in the late 1800s. Those of you with grandparents born in the 1920s are just youngsters! My parents were born earlier than that! LOL Then I probably shouldn't tell you that mine were born in 1938 and 1940 lol. That’s when your grandparents were born??? Holy Cow. That means I’m almost old enough to be your grandmother!! LOL.

He basically packed wounded back to where an ambulance could get to. He volunteered and joined the 364th field hospital when it was being commissioned in Portland. When I was little he seemed really grumpy and a bit off. I look back on it and think he might have had PTSD.

He had some great stories. Died in 1987 @ 102. My grandpa was 45 when my dad was born. My dad was 45 when I was born. I'm 59 and have a 3 year old, 2 year old and one 7 months old. Hope I pass on some wisdom I didn't have when I was young. This is my great grandpa about 1910 in Loysville PA. He caught these rats on Sherman's Creek. He was born in 1860. I still shoot his shotgun that is in this picture. He didn't have waders to get these rats. Wish I had some of his traps. so you were like 50 and got yourself a 30 year old wife? good for you I thought it would be weird to date women 20 years younger since my kids are that age. my parents were 46 when my oldest was born , my grandparents were 46 when I was born Kelli is 45. She's 14 yrs younger than me. We are hoping for one more too! Ha! I never had kids till now and we both like kids so we are just going to see what happens. We are both whipped by these kids by the end of each day. It's the best job I ever had. My Grandpa grew up by Carlisle Pa and worked at the Indian orphanage there for a while. His claim to fame was that he cut Jim Thorpe's hair. Last edited by Larry Baer; 2 hours ago. Just passin through

Both played with me when I was a youngster, I clearly remember both of them very well. Joe was a fireman utilizing horses and a hand pump. Operated the first motorized firetruck in the city. Albert helped build the first nuclear submarine Nautilus at the Electric Boat Company Groton Connecticut. Also served in the Spanish American War 1898. An era when men were men!
