My Favorite Picture Of My Grandmother, 1942. She's Strong, Raised Six Children On Her Own After Leaving An Alcoholic Husband. Worked 7 Days A Week As A Cook In A Gas Station From 3 Am - 5 Pm. I Would Stay Every Weekend With Her And Sleep On The Floor Of The Gas Station Back Then. She's Amazing
Pseudo Puppy 8 years ago
please pass on my *absolute* respect to her. She did all of that in an era where there were no shelters for those leaving domestic abuse, there was no daycare, and divorced women were not looked on postively. She was, and IS, a truly courageous woman. I hope she has managed to create a really positive, peaceful, happy life for herself. :) <3 <3 <3

My Crazy Grandfather
This is my crazy grandfather. Hands down, the funniest old coot that's ever existed. On his deathbed, he told us (his grandkids) "Don't be cheap. Spend 25 cents and buy the paper. The Times promised me a big spread." He worked as a photographer for the LA Times for 50+ years and had many famous photos, including the first published photo of an atomic bomb explosion.
He was a man of many stories and an unforgettable sense of humor. After laying his wife and two sons to rest, he stayed strong and kept his spirit high. He battled prostate cancer for 20+ years and lived to see his 92nd birthday and his great grandchildren. RIP Grandpa

He was very romantic and from what I heard from my grandmother - but I'm sure that bad-boy element played a part of it. He could barely speak English and she didn't know a word of Hungarian, but they made it work for well over 50 years! :)

That's an A-6 Texan flight trainer and she was most likely a WASP pilot. Women pilots who ferried aircraft from the factory to where they were needed, including overseas. They flew a much wider variety of planes than any male pilots, from single engined fighters to 4 engined B-17s and 38 died doing jobs that freed up men for combat. At the end of the war they were given no veterans benefits and had to pay their own way home. https://www.wwii-women-pilots.org

So the fact that it's on the interwebs negates the fact that it can be someone's grandpa? My grandpa was in a movie about a bank heist that is up on the internet. Does that negate the fact that he was my gradfather? Sheesh, what an a*****e.
