Damn, you guys are old!

I'm going to be 50 this year. My parents weren't born until after WWII. Most of these stories sound like something that would have come from my grandfathers. Grandpa #1 had been a fire chief in Cincinnati before they moved to FL. His parents, German, were up there. There seems to have been some sort of falling out, I'm assuming due to him divorcing his first wife. I never heard anything about his early life. Grandpa #2 was in WWII. From what I understand from my mom and aunts and uncles, he never really spoke about it to anyone. I believe he was in the Pacific at the end of the war and held no love for the Japanese. My dad passed when he was 57. I don't have a lot of stories but I know about his various cars (he was a gearhead) and he taught me about working on cars.
