GrandparentsMy awesome grandad flew in Wellingtons in the war. Damn, those shortages were terrible. Tell us about brilliant-stroke-rubbish grandparents.

Macho Man Of The Old WestI was doing some genealogical work on the grandfather of my grandmother, who moved to the American West in 1854, before the Old West really became the Old West we see in the movies. Those were dangerous times - grizzly bears, Indian attacks, prairie fires, pestilence! Men (and women) had to be tough, tough, tough!
What was my grandmother's grandfather's occupation? I was flabbergasted to discover he was a Candymaker. Candymaker of the Old West, he was.
Well, beats cowpunching....
