64. My paternal grandmother barely spoke English.
She came from Poland and was barely literate in her native language. I can still remember her garden and how she made hommade picalilli and poppy seed cake. My paternal grandfather died before I was born.

My maternal grandparents were fairly affluent and loved to travel. My grandfather had been to every country in South America. They gave me and my siblings some interesting presents from their travels. My grandfather also took me and my siblings to Kennywood Park a few times too. He also took us to Ocean City, MD and Williamsburg, VA
