re: We've done this before but maybe again - stories about Pow Pow

My maternal grandfather ended up dying early, but he was a "young" grandfather, in his fifties when I was old enough to remember him, and he would get out and do stuff with us. We were popping fireworks one New Year's Eve, and the fire fell off the lighter and into the sack of firecrackers he was holding. I never knew he could move that fast..

My paternal grandfather was older, but lived quite a bit longer, up through my college years. His big thing was taking the grandkids out to eat at least once a month. And he was a great cane pole fisherman. He always drove a nice car, but he always had brackets on the roof for a cane pole, and there was usually one there.
