What did your grandfathers do for a living?

My awesome Grandfather was a Physician, and his greatest achievement was opening with Grandma a Health Clinic at free charge for the needy and the poor.

My grandparents had 9 children, including my super cool Dad.



The other awesome Grandfather was a Musician, and a Captain in the Army.

My grandparents had 11 children, including my terrific and beautiful Mom.

Answer 2

My maternal grandfather was a Milk Man. He had 3 daughters and 1 son. He died when I was 9 months old, but I have vague memories of sitting on his lap and being thoroughly fascinated by the hair on his arms.



My paternal grandfather worked in a paper factory. He had two sons. I was very close with him. He was a part of my life until he died when I was 32 years old. We always felt a kinship because we were the only two in our family who were curly haired and left handed. I still miss him.

If I'm not mistaken, my mom's dad was a research chemist. He also worked for a while as the piano player in the silent movie theaters. Did you know there used to be live music soundtracks in the movie theaters? I always thought that was a cool little history tidbit. :)
