In reply to by Tara M.

My maternal grandmother passed away when I was in 10th grade. I was still too young to really appreciate being able to hear her story. My paternal grandmother is turning 90 next month and I have made it a point to go to her house and every time I am there ask questions. I have also started digitizing her pictures and documents and papers and these have been incredible story starters. I found out that my grandmother was a chemist before she became a sunday school teacher. Who knew?
