My paternal grandparents were married one month shy of 50 years. Pop died in May of '82. I can still remember when I heard the news.
My grandmother claimed at one point that she wouldn't marry my grandfather "if he was the last man left on earth."
They were wonderful people. My grandmother is Savannah's middle namesake, Jane.
My grandfather built a pole-vault pit in the back yard for my dad. They used old mattresses and sawdust to soften the landings.
I would stay with them on Friday nights as a kid and we watched Lawrence Welk.
This is how they did things in the old days.
No substantive training today...unit hike (nearly 500 lads) in the am.
