/4 (Grandpa’s parents had a car, but grandma had a flair for drama, I think.) He did well and went off to be the supply officer on a ship in the Pacific. Went with absolutely no guarantee of coming back. That’s what people did.

My late grandfather enlisted and brought the cuckoo clock from my great-grandmother's kitchen with him on the ship. He was actually down near Cuba during Bay of Pigs. I now have the clock (albeit, not functional).
