Well, Grandpa had been a telegrapher "doughboy" during The Great War, so he thought it would do dad good, but of course, Grandma did not think so. When dad got home in 1946, after having been gone for 3 years, he caught "what's for" from Grandma but good, he said. Not only for himself, but also for his younger brother who tried to follow him into the Navy, but was in San Diego getting ready to ship out when the war ended... Of course, the "baby" of the family had to follow in his brothers' footsteps, so my dad caught it again from Grandma... lol - she would bring that up about as often as she brought up "the wee people" (they got blamed for everything), which was rather often. Her being 100% Irish, I am of course referring to the leprechauns as "the wee people"...
very superstitious woman, but she was a riot!
